Horizons / West

Thrice’s 12th album is both a sequel to their 2021 release *Horizons / East* and part of the same body of work. Originally conceived as a double album, *Horizons* was split into two separate releases when the band decided to rerecord their 2003 breakthrough album *The Artist in the Ambulance* for its 20th anniversary. Still, vocalist/guitarist Dustin Kensrue and his bandmates tried to stay in the same headspace as *East* when they revisited the material for *West*. The result is a compelling rock album led by the infectious single “Albatross,” the snarling “Gnash,” and the moody churning of “The Dark Glow.”

Darkness comprehensively conquers light on Thrice’s follow up to 2021’s Horizons/East.
