Time Thieves
In early July, Time Thieves released their debut full-length, titled Space. We spoke with singer/guitarist Jonathan Pool and drummer Mike Oberlin and discussed how the band formed. Their lineup also includes bassist/singer Annie Saunders, guitarist/singer Tim Reynolds and keyboardist/singer Lilly Choi. In addition, we talked about how the album was written and recorded, as well as what inspired some of its songs. Time Thieves incorporate indie pop and synth-driven melodies, along with subtle Chicago punk influences, to create a sound that’s both nostalgic and contemporary. The end result is a fun, consistent record that reflects the years the band spent perfecting these songs. Be sure to give it a listen at the end of the interview.
