The Thermals celebrate Valentine’s Day with a chilly new track, “My Heart Went Cold”
Over the past decade, The Thermals have become the most consistent band in indie rock. Their upcoming seventh record, We Disappear, will be released on March 25 via Saddle Creek Records, and it’s another fiery entry in the band’s catalog. The A.V. Club is premiering “My Heart Went Cold,” appropriately timed for all of those dreading Valentine’s Day, below. It’s a track that makes closing off sound mighty appealing, as vocalist-guitarist Hutch Harris sings the song’s title along with some infectious, “Whoa-oh_oh”s, making the song a celebration for spurned lovers everywhere. In conjunction with the new track, The Thermals have launched a contest on their Facebook page where fans can tell their worst Valentine’s Day story in three sentences or less, entering them into a contest to win a copy of We Disappear, a T-shirt, and assorted pins and stickers.
