Thread Pulls current releases on Ninepoint records are the mini-album series "Fluorescent 1, 2 and 3" on their label Ninepoint Records. Limited to 100 copies, each package contains an individual artwork by Garrett Phelan. Tracks from Fluorescent 3 were remixed/remade by David Donohoe and released in June 2007 as the album-length Moonless and crowblack. There were only 50 hand-made copies of this release, which comes in custom made packaging with 2 large-format lithographic posters.

Thread Pulls became the first Irish band to be invited (by Vincent Gallo)
to play at the All Tomorrow's Parties festival. After releasing 4 eps on 9-pt as a drum-bass-guitar three piece, they've stripped down to the duo of Gavin Duffy and Peter Maybury, and they've moved away from their original noise-rock/no wave-inspired beginnings, stripped back to a core of drums and bass. Skewed grooves anchor their hypnotic proto-disco sound - kick-drum centred and sub-bass heavy. Roughly cut vocal layers and eastern trumpet-echoes coupling solar-synth-drones bring to mind early elements of future sounds. Having acquired a considerable reputation for their raw, energetic live shows and limited EP releases, they released their debut album New Thoughts to critical acclaim at home and abroad on Irish independent label OSAKA recordings at the end of 2010, followed by extensive touring in Ireland, UK, Europe and Scandinavia.
