Thrice talked with Yahoo! about their new album:

Yeah, it was fun, especially lyrically. We decided to split the record partway through making the last record, Horizons/East. It was just Horizons at the time, and so I didn’t have a ton of time to end up theming /East as intensely as I wanted to. But knowing /West was coming, I had a couple of years to really ruminate and distill some of that. So it was actually a lot of fun, and I feel like it’s the most thematically rich, dense record we’ve done other than The Alchemy Index.

And, because the Asana shoutout made me laugh:

We use an app called Asana to share at the points that we feel like something is in a shareable spot. In the past, we’ve passed Dropbox files around, but we haven’t done that in a little bit. That was when we weren’t living in the same place, and it was harder to jam in person. So, now, it’s a bit more of, like, “Here’s this idea,” and then we jam on it.
