Thrice - Palms (September 14, 2018) Album • Page 22

The most sonically expansive album in the band's 20 years history.

 

But instead we are going to tar and feather you for this one!

GET 'IM BOYS!

 

So is everything sold out already? I can't find anywhere to purchase the LP only

 

And we thought an angry middle-aged man in an old car was weird...

This video is something else.

 

"Palms encompasses everything from viscerally charged post-hardcore to piano-driven balladry. The most sonically expansive album so far in the band’s 20-year-history,"

These 2 sentences have me so excited now!

 

piano driven ballads?? HELL YES

 

I considered it an homage to you.

 

Whoever wrote that must not have listened to The Alchemy Index.

 

Thrice talk new album 'Palms' in BV interview, share "The Grey" video

 

or maybe they have and it's just that good

 

HOLY THIS INTERVIEW!~!!

 

"synth-fueled industrial rock"
I need to hear this song like yesterday.

 

So let’s talk about the new record. There are parts of it that remind me of classic Thrice, then there’s other things, like that first track “Only Us,” which is almost like an industrial song, which sounds pretty new for Thrice. How did a song like that come about?

We were consciously trying to leave our palette really broad. The last record was, I think maybe our most cohesive record, and it was still varied but it had something that really pulled it all together. We consciously wanted this one to be a bit more wild and scattered, I think. That song just came from me messing around with arpeggiated synths on a computer, and singing along with that. And I was like, “that sounds cool, it feels cool, it’s got a cool energy” — something about the tone itself, which was the original tone I demoed it with, it seemed to create the right mood for the melody. So yeah, we just went with it, and choosing to start the record with it was a conscious decision, knowing it’s a bit left-of-center for us, and that it would be a bit surprising… hopefully in a good way.”

It definitely kicks the record off with like, “whoa, this is Thrice?”

Yeah, and I like how that song kind of keeps surprising you as it goes. It starts in a way feeling a bit different, but then it has those classic Thrice elements as it continues.

Another song on the record that stood out to me, “Just Breathe,” has these really great vocal harmonies with Emma Ruth Rundle. She’s awesome, how did you guys end up working with her?

I heard her music maybe a year and a half or two years ago, and I definitely dug it. We were almost done with the record, and we were singing that song, and it’s kind of supposed to have two voices, two different characters singing the song almost — the main character and this voice from the side kind of coming in and speaking to that character. So I thought it would be cool if we could have an actual other voice to differentiate between the characters a little bit. We had to be done with it in a couple days, and there were a couple names that we had who we hit up, and she was not on tour, and other people were, so it worked out. It was a very short list of people and the fact that she was able to do it was amazing.
