Waaaaaay late update: Alchemy Index Videos 4-10
I have returned from a distant land, journeying far afoot clad in leather vestiges (and fighting epic battles), only to find that much time has passed since I have provided you, the reading public, with an update on anything at all. Thrice’s new double-EP release, The Alchemy Index Vols. I & II, has dropped. I went and saw Brand New and Thrice. Why the hell didn’t I write about any of it? I don’t know. But what I do know is that I am back, right here in front of this computer, ready to give possibly the most delayed music update of all time. I present to you, with many apologies, the rest of the Thrice teaser clips.
Here’s 4, wherein the guys speak in-studio about the experimental nature of Water and the genesis of “Digital Sea which, according to Dustin, “just wrote itself like really quickly, in one night”.
5, on Earth: “bluesy stuff, jazzy stuff, to kind of even more classical”-Teppei
Six – Air, they say, is the most diverse of the discs. More in-studio jabber and another song clip.
Seven – Behind the making of Earth and…a Thrice song with a Zeppelin vibe? Check it out.
Numero ocho – Back to Air again…the song clip playing in the background sounds good, but Teppei seems really unsure of the Air album, especially when it comes to distinguishing between an Air and Water track.
N9ne. Fire. See also Video 3.
Ten. Watch as Teppei nearly giggles saying “wet”, in reference to reverb.
