Thor Harris

Thor Harris is a multi-instrumentalist, percussionist, and visual artist best known for his work with the experimental rock band Swans, particularly during their reformation period in the 2010s. Hailing from Austin, Texas, Harris has built a reputation as a prolific collaborator and a creative force in avant-garde and post-rock circles. He leads his own ensemble, Thor & Friends, which explores minimalist compositions influenced by artists like Steve Reich and Terry Riley.
