Major/Minor

Gritty, blues-inflected rock with a live-room feel. A heavy, soulful meditation on faith and failure that trades technical polish for raw, analog warmth.

It's like Thrice went into a room with some old tube amps and decided to play the blues with a post-hardcore heart.

A heavy, soulful meditation on faith and failure that trades technical polish for raw, analog warmth.

Moments Worth Waiting For

the massive, swampy bass riff that opens Yellow Belly setting a new tonal floor for the band

the transition from the delicate piano intro to the crashing oceanic climax of Words in the Water

the nostalgic lyrical callback to their earlier discography during the bridge of Anthology
