Quick Hit Band Interview: The Unending Thread

The Unending Thread
Q&A time with the band (via Cesar). Hope you enjoy:

How would you describe your sound? We call ourselves an experimental indie band. Sometimes we go by jazz punk. Regardless, our music is the eclectic accumulation of influences spanning the math rock, rn'b, jazz, and prog rock genres.

Do you all (or individually) have a favorite music-themed movie, tv show, book, etc? And then of course, why the choice? I've been vibing to a lot of video game sound tracks, especially from The Legend of Zelda and Undertale. The newest Legend of Zelda game takes a lot of cues from previous games, but some of the cues sound like they could be in Miyazaki movies which have some of the best scores of all time. The harmonies are so lush and I love the stacked 4ths voicings on a lot of the piano. It's very contemplative and sometimes mysterious. Undertale's sound track gives me a sense of nostalgia from older RPG games as well especially since the tracks use a lot of 8-bit sounds.
