Thrice Are Back! Horizons/West: Their Best Post-Hiatus Record
Horizons/West might be Thrice’s best album since the hiatus. This is our band, the foundation-of-a-friendship, “through and through” kind of favorite.
We break down why it’s so replayable (dynamics, restraint, rhythm-section magic), dig into standouts like “Gnash,” “Crooked Shadows,” and the instant-classic “Vesper Light,” and connect the dots to pre-hiatus Thrice favorites, especially on Vheissu, The Alchemy Index and Beggars.
Plus: fresh-off-the-show reactions from the current tour — setlist whiplash across every era, the band looking looser and happier than we’ve seen in years, and why “Vesper Light” is the new you-have-to-play-it song (sorry, Deadbolt Guy). If you’re a Thrice lifer, this one’s for you.
