A bulletin on Thrice's official Myspace stated the following:

"You may have read at various news sources online that our current project is called “The Elements.” This is not true, as we have not titled the project yet, and have not told anyone our speculative titles, of which “The Elements” is not one. Anyway, just wanted to set the record straight. As soon as we have an official title, song titles, or tracklisting we’ll post the news here. Thanks for reading and supporting."

[edit] Current Information

Thrice is currently writing and recording new material for their upcoming four disc release. Each disc will represent the four elements: earth, air, fire and water. According to an MTV interview, there will be around 25 songs. The band is recording the album during the fall of 2006 and plans to release it by the spring of 2007.

Here's the official announcement that the band posted on MySpace:

"As a lot of you may know, for the past month or so, we've been writing and recording our next album. We didn't want to say anything official until we'd finalized a lot of the details, but now that were getting rolling on it, we want you guys to be the first to know what our plans for this record are.

We have started writing and recording a 4 disc concept record, with each disc being themed sonically and thematically to correspond with the four natural elements - Earth, Air, Water and Fire. The final album will have somewhere between 20 and 25 songs, divided between the 4 discs.

We are approaching the whole project in a new way for us, both writing and recording. Writing with these elements in mind, we are letting them shape the direction of the songs sonically and thematically. And for the first time, were recording the record ourselves as we write it, freeing us up to change things as we go.

We are very excited about the project and are looking forward to sharing more details as the record takes shape. Were also in the process of setting up a site dedicated to keeping you up to date on our progress, so keep a look out for that in the near future."

The band recently played a new song called "Come All You Weary" at Bamboozle which is rumored to be from the Earth album. Videos of the performance can be found on YouTube (Version 1. Version 2.)According to their website, this song is the only song from the earth cd that has a full drum kit or any instrument that isn't acoustic.

Another song was played at Bamboozle from the Fire Album and can be found on YouTube (Version 1). There was no name given to the song at the time.

On October 20, 2006, Dustin Kensrue posted the following update on the band's studio journal site, Alchemy Index:

"We sat down a couple weeks ago and made a rough timeline so that we wouldn’t find ourselves putting this out next winter instead of late spring/early summer. The plan is to record at least 75% of each disc at a time, and then have time to come back and re-evaluate, start mixing, and tie up any loose ends. Right now we have done a large amount of the Air disc and have just started up on Earth, which we’ve given ourselves only to the end of next week since we want it to have a pretty stripped down vibe and we don’t want to have time to over- think it. We moved the recording gear into an empty living room with hardwood floors and are recording the whole earth disc in here which is sounding very cool."
