Thrice - Horizons / West

'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.
