Irvine, Calif. post-hardcore band Thrice to return with 'Horizons/West' this fall

OC alt-rock band Thrice return with Horizons/West, their new album set for release on October 3 via Epitaph Records. The announcement arrives alongside the release of the record’s lead single, “Gnash,” available now on all streaming platforms. Pre-sale for the Horizons/West vinyl and exclusive merch is available now at ThriceMerch.com.

It serves as a companion to 2021’s Horizons/East.

“This is the first time we leaned into something that felt like a direct continuation, like a sequel to a previous album,” says frontman Dustin Kensrue.

Horizons/West was produced and engineered by the band at New Grass Studios, with mixing and additional production by Scott Evans and mastering by Matthew J. Barnhart, both of whom also worked on Thrice’s The Artist in The Ambulance (Revisited), (2023). 

Lyrically, the album delves into themes of personal identity, societal manipulation, technological anxiety, and spiritual awakening. “A lot of this record is about parsing reality,” Kensrue explains. “We’re constantly being influenced by algorithms, by fear, by our own social echo chambers. Horizons/West tries to pull the curtain back on some of that. We’ve always just followed our curiosity, wherever it leads,” Kensrue reflects. “We want to keep growing, exploring, and making something that feels honest to who we are right now.”

Following the release, Thrice will embark on a nationwide headline tour this fall. For more information, tickets, and exclusive presale access for Horizons/West, visit thrice.net.
