Some bands write albums. Thrice wrote an entire elemental soundtrack. The Alchemy Index Vols. III & IV: Air & Earth completes the band's ambitious four-part concept series, with each disc exploring a different element through its own distinct musical style. Turns out "staying in one genre" just wasn't on the agenda.
Originally released in 2008, Air & Earth showcases two dramatically different sides of Thrice's songwriting. Air leans into atmospheric rock with shimmering guitars and expansive soundscapes, while Earth trades distortion for Americana, folk, and acoustic textures. Together, they form the final chapters of one of the band's most creative and experimental releases, featuring standout tracks like "Daedalus," "Moving Mountains," "Come All You Weary," and the haunting closer "Child of Dust."
This Voice Editions pressing presents the album on Translucent Clear (Air) and Translucent Tan (Earth) vinyl, perfectly matching the elemental themes that inspired the music. Better color coordination than most of our wardrobes, if we're being honest. It's also the first standalone vinyl release of Air & Earth, making it an essential pickup for longtime fans and collectors alike.
