A City by the Light Divided, Thursday's fourth album, landed on Island on May 2, 2006, after a stretch of relentless touring through the UK, Japan, New Zealand and Australia had left the New Brunswick, New Jersey band fraying at the seams. Keyboardist Andrew Everding had gone full-time after War All the Time, and the group wanted something that felt live in the room, so they drafted Dave Fridmann on the strength of his work with the Flaming Lips, Mercury Rev and Mogwai.
They cut it at Tarbox Road Studios in Cassadaga, New York, with Fridmann mixing, and his touch shows: Geoff Rickly's howls now ride on swirling keys under a wider, woozier sky, while Tom Keeley and Steve Pedulla's guitars, Tim Payne's bass and Tucker Rule's drums still hit like a fist. Stellastarr's Amanda Tannen and Mary Fridmann of Bass Piggy add their voices to "We Will Overcome".
