Background

The album was released as a surprise with no prior announcement. However, Kygo hinted at a new album in an August 2022 interview with Audacy . [2] The day before it was released, he announced that there would be a surprise coming at midnight, which would be the next day. [3] On its release date, he explained the recording process of the album and shared his thoughts on it through a statement shared to EDM.com:

Thrill Of The Chase is a collection of songs I worked on over the last two years that started during Covid and ended with sessions in Los Angeles. I've had the chance to play or tease the unreleased music throughout the year at shows and the feedback was unbelievable. A few of the songs on Thrill Of The Chase are different from anything I've ever made in the past and I'm really excited for everyone to finally hear the album in its entirety. [4]
