California rockers Thrice have posted their new single “Summer Set Fire To The Rain,” which appears on their upcoming album ‘Horizons/East’ (out September 17th through Epitaph Records – pre-order). Stream the new song below.
Regarding the fresh track, a presser states, “The song delves into the all too familiar sensation of searching for something while ignoring the broader picture – the world and all of its beauty — right in front of you.”
Vocalist Dustin Kensrue’s explains further, “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.”
“Much of this song is really close to Ed’s original demo,” Kensrue adds. “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.”
