Thrice‘s new album Major/Minor will be released everywhere September 20, 2011 via Vagrant Records… but ChinaShop has a special exclusive treat for all you rabid fans hungry for new music from this seminal band.
Regarding the recording process and album, the band shared with us the following:
Riley Breckinridge (drummer) – “Yellow Belly’s” working title was Major/Minor, which, after much deliberation, ended up becoming the title of our new record. It was the first track we debuted live at Bamboozle in April, and the first track we laid down in the studio at the beginning of our sessions in May. Our only exposure to Red Bull Studios had been tracking and taping a Myspace Transmissions session in 2007, but getting to record an entire record there was a fantastic experience and one we’re very grateful for.
Dustin Kensrue (vocals, guitar) – It was great tracking at Red Bull studios. It’s set up really well and we were able to track most of the record live which definitely comes across in the energy that was captured. The engineers are super helpful and know their stuff as well.
