Color: Oxblood Black Marble. UPC: 8714092812947 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.
