Thrice Band • Page 288

Thanks for sharing this. Great list!

Wish I had listened to the following earlier:

Drug Church - Hygiene
Downward - The Brass Tax
Gleemer - Here At All
Lockstep - Lockstep 2

 

Hey Jason, are you aware of Thrice's secret plans for 2023 yet?

 

It’s a revisited artist in the ambulance. Should be out in February, no one knows what that means exactly yet tho.

 

Uhhh…is that news yet?

 

For real, where the heck did this come from? Is it real? I'm not seeing anything on the band's socials.

 

This has been the expectation, so I hope this is real art.

 

TAITA reimagined as a bluegrass album

 

Steve Martin guests on Paper Tigers

 

kinda wish that wasn’t it… would rather have new stuff. but i’m glad they’re putting stuff out!

 

Wait, is this real? Awesome if true. Hope we get some new music as well.

 

oh hello

 

I found it on one of those Russian leak sites. They were right about alexisonfire lol. So I’m assuming it’s real: never know until you hear from the band themselves though.

 

Band has expressed they weren’t thrilled with the production sound years later and I know this has been discussed so I am not surprised. It’s cool they have the ability and space to re-record the album if they wanted to (and I guess I own the rights now).

Would still love a new album (Horizons/West eventuall), would still love to hear reimagined Thrice songs album and will be all over listening to this AITA re-record (once it becomes official).

 

I know Dustin has said he didn’t like the way his vocals sounded until Alchemy, I think. Wonder how far off the OG songs they will go.

 

Personally I’d love an album of the original arrangements with upvoted vocals and mixing

 

"To be quite candid, it’s sort of the “almost” record for us. We learned a lot of lessons from writing and recording that record. We had a lot of great and inspired ideas but blocked ourselves in as far as writing/recording time since we started booking tours before we even finished writing. I think that led to some premature ideas that had great potential but never quite blossomed the way it should have. I truly believe that we had something a lot more progressive and interesting cooking. Since then, we’d kept everything completely open-ended while we were writing/recording, being sure to allow whatever time we needed to get everything right.

I know we’ve expressed this a number of times in the past, but in retrospect, the record sounds very stale to me. We recorded the drums in the big room at the now defunct Bearsville Studios, and that room was huge, with a beautifully lively sound to it. Our rough mixes sounded amazing. We made the mistake of going with a big name mixer who more or less ran it through his cookie cutter formula which sucked out all the character we saw in it. It worked OK for some of the songs, but there’s definitely a good handful of songs that got lost in translation. Again, lesson learned.

That’s not to say I hate the record at all. I appreciate it for its place in our band’s timeline and actually don’t have any regrets. I think it was a needed catalyst for a big turning point for us." Teppei Teranishi

 

What logo is that in place of the Island Records logo? Shouldn't it be Epitaph? That certainly doesn't look like it.

 

I found Thrice later on, and TBH going back to that one has always been mostly underwhelming for me. If the band feels underwhelmed by how it turned out too, I'd honestly be really excited to hear them re-execute it to get it closer to that original vision.

 

I figured they’d sort of self release this since it’s going to do well without a label push.

 

I feel from past interviews they described their deal with Epitaph as sort of like a 50/50 split or something that worked well for them and for the label. Maybe there was an advance there and they got marketing and distribution benefits or something.

I wouldn’t rule out Epitaph being involved, bu this could also be a case of wear the band is just looking to put this out on their own being a re-record, and since the have their own space they could do it more affordable. Also, it’s not a “new” record where you’d advertise and much and try and do a video/single and so on.

 

So is this a re-mix from the old masters or are they re-recording the album from the ground up?

 

They are revisiting them.

Whatever that means haha we don’t know yet.

 

I’m assuming re-record unless they bought/own the Masters from Island Records

 

Seems likely.
