Thrice confirm new album Horizons/West, a companion to 2021’s Horizons/East

Thrice have just announced their new album Horizons/West.

Due out on October 3 via Epitaph, the record is described as ‘companion’ to 2021’s Horizons/East, with frontman Dustin Kensrue explaining that, “This is the first time we leaned into something that felt like a direct continuation, like a sequel to a previous album.”

Speaking more specifically about what’s to come, Dustin shares: “A lot of this record is about parsing reality. 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. We want to keep growing, exploring, and making something that feels honest to who we are right now.”

To celebrate the news, listen to Thrice’s new single Gnash now:
