California rock outfit Thrice have released their new single Summer Set Fire To The Rain, taken from their forthcoming album Horizons/East.
“How often is life spilling over with beauty and novelty and possibility and all we can do is complain, in this case about getting wet, and to miss the moment completely? So much depends on how we attend to each moment,” says vocalist Dustin Kensrue.
He continues: “Much of this song is really close to Ed’s original demo. As we got together and were jamming on the parts, I ended up singing the words ‘Summer set fire to the rain.’ While most of the things I end up singing during the writing process are nonsense, sometimes there are little gems that emerge, and I’ve been trying to pay more attention to them and pull them in to songs when it feels right. In this case, my accidental but poetic framing of being caught in the rain while the sun shines became a central metaphor for the song.”
Horizons/East is due for digital release on 17th September 2021 and physical release on 8th October 2021 via Epitaph Records, available to pre-order HERE.
