Marc Linquist was raised in Florida under the tutelage of his lounge musician father Allyn Lynn, a one-man combo. Years later in Nashville he met up with Staci Roark, an Okie schooled in the finer points of Rachmaninoff. Together they set out for London, wound up in Kentucky, made their way to Los Angeles and became Thailand.
"—a neoclassical kind of dance punk in which the lyrics are clear and the production is clean, energizing and free…some of the more admirably interesting practitioners of this kind of pop music" (David Cotner, LA Weekly)
"Thailand...serve up a compelling new-wave/post-punk cocktail." (Kevin Bronson, Los Angeles Times)
"—the band's glittery midtempo rockers are underscored by driving beats and street-savvy vocals brimming with Cali cool." ( Flavorpill )
"Thailand approach their music with a scientific perspective that evokes the cerebral rock of their influences Wire and Brian Eno while still keeping their songs short and catchy." (Falling James, LA Weekly)
“The combination of lucid songwriting, metronomic krautrock rhythms, spiked guitars, and industrial synth washes give the impression that this is music with a soul that’s buried deep within the workings of automatons.†(Richard Stokoe, Losing Today)
