Australian garage rock trio Cable Ties have shared “Thoughts Back,” the latest single from their upcoming album All Her Plans. Featuring drummer Shauna Boyle’s first turn on lead vocals, “Thoughts Back” is a potent expression of the unique frustrations associated with mental illness, especially as it pertains to self-care and caring for others. Listen to and share “Thoughts Back" wherever you listen to music, and pre-order All Her Plans from the Merge store!

“I wrote this song mostly centred around my own experiences with mental illness and how consuming and overwhelming it was, and is, for countless people around the world,” Boyle says. “It also plays into the themes of the record, such as care-giving and mental workload. So often people give up their own lives to help others and as a result, rarely have their voices, their experiences or their history acknowledged.”

With All Her Plans on the way, Cable Ties are set to storm stages across the United States, Europe, and the United Kingdom. See below for new UK and European dates, as well as an appearance at Raleigh's Hopscotch Music Festival before they hit the road with Superchunk in September!
