Serving as a companion to 2021’s Horizons/East, the new full-length album continues the band’s bold sonic exploration and philosophical depth, while standing firmly as its own statement. Horizons/West blends cinematic post-rock textures, intricate rhythms, and the raw urgency that defined Thrice’s early work, offering an album that’s equal parts introspection and confrontation.

“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).The release continues the band’s long-standing DIY ethos and adventurous spirit.

The album also marks a lyrical deep dive 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.”
