Thrice - Horizons/West (Indie Exclusive/Opaque Maroon Vinyl) (New Vinyl)

Limited Edition LP On 'Opaque Maroon' Coloured Vinyl

Horizons/West completes the thematic arc begun with 2021's Horizons/East, pairing personal reflection with sweeping sonic ambition. Self-produced by the band, engineered by guitarist Teppei Teranishi, mixed by Scott Evans, and mastered by Matthew J. Barnhart, Horizons/West balances cinematic tones with spacious atmosphere.

Teranishi calls it "less dense", while vocalist Dustin Kensrue sees it as their first sequel - two halves of a larger emotional and political panorama. Blending post-rock textures from their earlier albums Beggars and Major/Minor with rhythmic complexity from Horizons/East, Thrice sharpens its edge without losing nuance. Kensrue's vocals shift from whisper to roar, anchoring meditations on perception, memory, and social influence.

Horizons/West looks inward while never ignoring the larger world - urging listeners not to adopt beliefs, but to interrogate them. After more than two decades, Thrice continues building catharsis from chaos, and clarity from noise.
