Here's my cover of Thrive by The Contortionist, off their album ""Language". This was the band's first album with Michael Lessard on vocals, and it was an incredible turning point. This song is one of my favourites, and as always, Joey Baca wrote some really interesting parts for it.

Thank you to Sebastian Biega at Vapor RMW (Toronto, Canada) for engineering and mixing, thank you to Peter Han for lending me his China cymbal, and thank you to Michele Dalgarno for the use of her cameras.

Thank you for watching!
