New Album...

Straight from the Thrice Website...

"As a lot of you may know, for the past month or so, we've been writing
and recording our next album. We didn't want to say anything official
until we'd finalized a lot of the details, but now that we're getting
rolling on it, we want you guys to be the first to know what the plans
are for this album.


We have started writing and recording a 4 disc concept record, with
each disc being themed sonically and thematically to correspond with
the four natural elements - earth, air, water and fire. The final
record will have somewhere between 20 and 25 songs, divided between the
4 discs.


We are approaching the whole project in a new way for us, both writing
and recording. Writing with these elements in mind, we are letting them
shape the direction of the songs sonically and thematically. And for
the first time, we're recording the record ourselves as we write it,
freeing us up to change things as we go.


We are very excited about the project and are looking forward to
sharing more details as the record takes shape. We're also in the
process of setting up a site dedicated to keeping you up to date on our
progress, so keep a look out for that in the near future.


For our friends on the west coast, we have two events to talk about.
The first is the Race for the Cure later this month. We'll be doing the
race this year along with our friends Chuck Ragan and The Cold War
Kids. Dustin, Chuck, and the Cold War Kids will be doing a special
acoustic show after exclusively for those who attend the Race with us.
All of the sign up details are posted below as well as on our MySpace page.


Also, we wil be heading out on a few dates in October, with two awesome
bands - These Arms are Snakes and Planes Mistaken for Stars. We're
putting together a brand new setlist, digging up some old songs we
haven't played in a while, songs we've never played live before, and a
couple of the new songs we're working on.


Stay tuned for more details about the elements, videos, and
pictures. We'll get to all of that as the album progresses. We look
forward to seeing you all soon.
