Thier first Album on Epitaph comes on oxblood vinyl.Limitierte farbige („oxblood“) LP! Neues Album der 1998 in Kalifornien gegründeten Post-Hardcore Band! „Palms“ ist die erste Epitaph-Veröffentlichung für Thrice, die weithin als eine der innovativsten Rockbands ihrer Generation gilt. Das Album umfasst alles von gefühlvollem Post-Hardcore bis hin zu piano-driven Balladen. Um diesen eklektischen Sound auszuarbeiten, engagierte die Band den vertrauten Produzenten Eric Palmquist für die Aufnahme der Percussion- und Vocal-Tracks und produzierte alle Gitarrenparts auf „Palms“ selbst. Sicherlich das bisher klanglich umfangreichste Album in der 20-jährigen Geschichte der Band, welches durch seine rohe Leidenschaft vollends zu überzeugen weiß!

Thrice created Palms with a free-form and fluid approach to the album’s sonic element. The result is their most expansive work to date, encompassing everything from viscerally charged post-hardcore to piano-driven balladry. To carve out that eclectic sound, Thrice enlisted trusted producer Eric Palmquist for the recording of the percussion and vocal tracks, and self-produced all of the guitar parts on Palms. “When we track our own stuff we tend to be far less neurotic about getting every note perfect,” says singer Dustin Kensrue. “It’s more about getting the right emotion out of the performance, so that it connects on a deeper level.” Kensrue, co-founded Thrice with guitarist Teppei Teranishi, bassist Eddie Breckenridge, and drummer Riley Breckenridge in 1998. Hailing from Orange County, California, the band formed when three of its members were still in high school, making their debut with the kinetic punk / hardcore hybrid of the 2000 album Identity Crisis. Their breakthrough arrived with 2003’s The Artist in the Ambulance—Thrice’s third full-length, whose singles All That’s Left and Stare at the Sun each landed on the Billboard Alternative Songs chart. Palms is the band’s first release since signing to Epitaph in early 2018, and the album matches its raw passion with a measured intensity, a rare feat for an album so informed by the volatility of the times. “Even though some of these songs are really aggressive-sounding, I wanted to make sure they never felt like finger-pointing, especially at a time when there’s so much talking past each other,” says Kensrue. Within that approach, Thrice reveal their profound commitment to making an enduring impact on the listener.
