Interview with Thrice 2025

In the interview, Dustin from Thrice talks about their new single “Albatross” and how the song came together in the studio. He explains that while the albatross is often seen as a symbol of bad luck because of The Rime of the Ancient Mariner, the band reinterpreted it as a reminder not to sabotage our own good fortune. He describes the track as energetic and different from their past work, both musically and thematically, and sees it as a strong representation of the upcoming album Horizons West, due October 3rd. The record, he says, feels like their best-sounding yet and draws inspiration from revisiting earlier albums during anniversary tours, blending new ideas with a sense of full-circle creativity.

Dustin also shares insights into the band’s writing process, noting that songs almost always begin with the music before lyrics take shape. He highlights how the limited time spent recording Horizons West gave the album a raw immediacy, with ideas captured in the moment rather than overworked. Compared to Horizons East, this companion record carries more energy and thematic consistency, centered around the metaphor of the setting sun. He touches on the collaborative challenge of narrowing down the band’s many ideas, the excitement of performing new songs live, and their touring plans through the U.S. and Canada this fall, with hopes of returning to Japan and South America in the near future.
