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.

They recently finished work on their second full-length, called Wax Wings, which was recorded by Joe Gac. “Getting Closer” is the second single from the forthcoming album and it talks about the various relationships that we as humans have, whether it’s with ourselves or with things like technology or money.
