Thrice continues to work on their ambitious double double album first mentioned in late July. The band has been documenting the recording progress for the past month on their blog, Alchemy Index.

The band has wrapped up work on "Earth" and begun work on the "Water" section of the album:

So we officially started the Water sessions today by starting work on a track with the working title "Open Water". We started off the day by recording some drums, then moved on to synth, and started on guitars before we called it a day. It's an interesting thing to have to switch gears the way we're doing. For the last couple weeks, we've been so focused on making everything sound a certain way and have a certain vibe, and now all of the sudden we're totally switching gears and going a different direction…especially going from earth to water.

The band releases Vheissu last year.
