The Thrill Is Gone And I Can’t Get It Back is The Tin Can Collective’s Album Out Now
Each track unfolds with the warmth of analog recordings and the sincerity of a band that plays for connection, not perfection.
Opening with “Catch a Buzz,” the group immediately shows its colors. There’s a nostalgic tone that recalls Counting Crows’ openhearted storytelling, paired with the rustic charm of Blind Melon. The song’s rhythm has an earthy swing, its guitars shimmering like sunlight over worn asphalt. You can sense that this isn’t just an album—it’s a personal journey.
“Long Life, Short Stay” introduces a lyrical intimacy that evokes Michael Stipe’s fragmented poetry. The verses drift between reflection and confession, while the melodies invite you to hum along. The songwriting feels fresh yet grounded in timeless influences, and transitions smoothly into “Knot With Threads.” Here, the band stretches its dynamics, letting the female vocals shine at the forefront. Her voice adds texture and light, making the song one of the most interesting moments on the record.
Then comes the title track, “The Thrill Is Gone,” a true centerpiece. Its melodic layers and subtle orchestration build a sense of grandeur tinged with melancholy. The strings rise like echoes of lost moments, while the rhythm gives a cinematic pulse. It’s a beautiful contradiction—epic yet fragile, full yet intimate.
When “Dreamweaver” hits, the pace jolts forward. The intro surges with raw energy, as if the band suddenly decided to let loose every restraint. The chorus, however, blooms into something almost magical, proof of their ability to blend force and emotion with remarkable ease.
“Trouble” slows things down again, offering a more introspective tone. The guitar riff carries a quiet confidence, and the lower vocal register creates a storyteller’s intimacy. Its gentle chorus drifts somewhere between a sigh and a daydream.
“Sleepwalk” closes the album on a warm, fireside note. It feels like a lullaby sung after a long night of shared stories. The band unites in harmony, leaving the listener suspended between peace and nostalgia.
The Thrill Is Gone And I Can’t Get It Back is an album rich in heart, texture, and narrative—the sound of a group unafraid to feel.

Honest!
The Tin Can Collective is a Long Island, NY–based indie-emo-punk band formed in 2011 by John Warren. What began as his home recording project has evolved into a family-driven force featuring his sister Jess Warren on guitar and drummer Cass Kadow, with longtime collaborators completing the lineup. Their fifth full-length album, The Thrill is Gone and I Can’t Get It Back, was recorded live in a living room with bassist and visual artist Paul Motisi—who also designed the album art—and guitarist Pete Cianciatto. Produced and engineered by Will Forthman and Jay Carrie of Dinos in Vietnam Productions, and mixed by Jack Shirley (Jeff Rosenstock, Deafheaven, Joyce Manor), the record channels Long Island’s DIY energy into something raw, honest, and unfiltered.
