I remember how excited I was when Palms came out, being it was their first new release since I got into Thrice. After that I dug deep into all their albums. I'll never forget I turned to my brother, which by the way we were in front of the stage, I turned to my brother and said, "I hope they play The Long Defeat" and sure enough they closed the set with it and I was blown away. And I remeber at the end of their set Dustin said that they had one more to play. And still to this day its one of my favorites from them.
I remeber I really fell in love with The Long Defeat. So up until that point I only listened to To Be Everywhere. But before I could really dive deep into their catalogue we had that Circa show to go to. So shortly after I looked them up and was like wow they have a lot more albums. And I also thought there was a different singer on Artist lol. So at first I thought those were their only 2 albums. And I remember telling myself, "this bands gonna blow up" At the time I had an Ipod Classic and my older brother put on To Be Everywhere and Artist and the Ambulance on my Ipod. And at the time, I never heard of Thrice before so I thought they were a newish band. So the rest of that week I had Hurricane on repeat. And I remeber being absolutly amazed after hearing Hurricane. If I remember correctly I believe the tour was Turnover, Balance and Composure, Thrice, and Circa Survive. He started listening to Thrice because we wanted to go see Circa Survive on their Amulet Tour. I can recall I was on my way to a Devils game and my older brother was driving and all of a sudden this song plays. Without surrendering any of the energy and hard edge of their previous albums, they’ve given us a profoundly meditative work, which serves as a musical summons to everyday attentiveness.So I just wanna start by saying I've only been listening to Thrice since 2017. With Horizons/East, Kensrue and his bandmates address, with candor and courage, the fragile and awkward arrangements that pass for civilization, while inviting us to dwell more knowingly within our own lives. To emerge from a global pandemic with a renewed sense of situational awareness, hard won insight, and a new album is the kind of move we’ve come to expect from Thrice over the last twenty years. Whether lost in a media diet that is essentially a disinformation pipeline or, relatedly, trapped in fear of a future of eternal conscious pain, Kensrue speaks of “toxic worldviews I once inhabited,” and in truth, “a lot of people that I love are still in that place.” The song features dark and intricate guitar work and drum grooves, with lyrics that challenge the listener to discern the issues and information that bonds us compared to what disintegrates. For Thrice vocalist Dustin Kensrue, the song is – but also kind of isn’t – a thing of the past. In this, Horizons/East is the rare rock album on which interrelatedness is a theme, painting an adventurous and lush landscape mixed by Scott Evans that the band self-produced and recorded at their own New Grass Studio.Īdditionally, the album’s first single “Scavengers” can be heard below. The album will be out on September 17th via Epitaph Records on streaming platforms, with a physical copy release following on October 8th.įor Thrice, the album exemplifies art as a work of recognition - the human task of perceiving oneself amid details, disasters, and blessings as a relentlessly relational phenomenon among others. Thrice have recently announced the details surrounding their 11th studio album, Horizons/East.
