The Thread is the debut studio album by Band of Burns, releasing 2 years after their critically acclaimed album Live from Union Chapel. Recorded by the 12 members of the band in Watercolour Studios 2018, The Thread is a true representation of the band’s international influences, and their poetic endeavour to interpret the works and philosophies of Scotland's national poet, Robert Burns.

The messages of equality, love, and common human objectives championed by Burns were the higher links beyond music, the thread that bound the musicians together. This binding Thread inspired the title of the album. Comprising of 13 tracks, the music is a mixture of the band's own interpretations of Burns songs and poems, some of which have been set to music for the first time, as well as a few original songs inspired by the ideologies that Burns upheld.
