THRICE – Horizons / West – LP – Oxblood & Black Marble Colour Vinyl

Description

LP – Indies Exclusive Limited Edition Oxblood & Black Marble ColourVinyl.

Horizons/West (2025) completes the thematic arc begun with Horizons/East (2021), 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, the band 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.
