The Thrills

The Thrills are an Irish band formed in 2001, led by singer Conor Deasy. They released three studio albums between 2003 and 2007 and became known for 60s-influenced harmonies and sunny, melancholic melodies.

According to DeBaser reviews: So Much for the City and Let's Bottle Bohemia reached third and ninth in the UK Albums Chart respectively (as reported in a 2007 review); Teenager reached #48 in the UK album chart. Peter Buck guested on the track "Faded Beauty Queens" (Let's Bottle Bohemia). Producer Tony Hoffer produced the debut and returned to produce Teenager (noted in reviews).

Three DeBaser reviews cover The Thrills' three main studio albums (2003–2007). Critics note strong Beach Boys/60s influences, Conor Deasy's distinctive voice, and growing compositional ambition. Reception is mixed: praised for harmonies and moments of genuine emotion, criticized for occasional derivativeness and inconsistent commercial results.
