Sydney’s Liam Irvine has carefully plotted and planned his ascent, taking every deliberate measure at his disposal to careful hone his production craft in an effort to elevate his career as Thorns into the upper echelon of modern electronic musicians.
While Irvine’s style rests cordially with the current trend for experimental, genre-defying bass, his latest single demonstrates an equal proficiency working a variety of genres, and works to depict the at times infinite path of revisions that can preface a release. Birthed from a long-running WIP nearly 4 years ago, ‘Rattlesnake’ is an ideal depiction that a track may take extraordinary lengths of time and personal effort in order to seem truly “complete” from the artist’s ears.

“The demo for ‘Rattlesnake’ actually began around 4 years ago when I first made a rough idea of the track. It ended up gathering dust for a while until I came across it when cleaning up my old projects. I figured it would be fun to dive into something I started back when I had no influence of genre or structure and could just have fun with it. The second half switch-up is definitely my favorite part of it all. That was a last-minute addition to flip the track on itself. It never fails to turn some heads,” Irvine reflects regarding his latest release.
