Thrice is gearing up to release their follow-up to 2018’s Palms. The new album, Horizon/East is due out September 17th. In the press release, it was explained where the term “robot soft exorcism” came from:
“The track’s title may sound familiar to those who are aware of David Dark. The American author and teacher coined the term in a Twitter thread, exploring a metaphor in an attempt to help us distinguish between harmful and destructive systems and those that inhabit and benefit from them. “
It goes on to dive deeper into the theme and tones of the album itself:
“With the new album, Thrice addresses, with candor and courage, the fragile and awkward arrangements that pass for civilization, while inviting us to dwell more knowingly within our own lives. Without surrendering any of the energy and hard edge of their previous albums, they’ve given us a profoundly meditative work, which serves as a musical summons to everyday attentiveness.”
