Biography
Thought Creature were a Wellington psychedelic rock band whose brand of sci-fi-tinged surf and kosmische drone made them one of the more singular acts in New Zealand’s underground during the 2000s and 2010s. Their music drew equally on krautrock repetition, reverb-soaked guitars and an otherworldly sense of atmosphere.
The band self-titled debut EP (2005) established their tone, while Teleport Palace (2008) expanded the sonic palette. The Total Recall EP (2012) marked their last release for several years before a return with Ocean Dream (2018, Fantasy Fiction Records). Members have subsequently been involved with Death & the Maiden and Élan Vital.
