Trinity & Triage: The Self-Titled Debut
Overlook Hotel Records presents the debut album from Progressive Folk trio Trinity & Triage, released January 1, 2014.
Overlook Hotel Records is proud to present catalog item R237-008: Trinity & Triage. This 14-track collection marks the debut of the Islington-based trio, featuring the collaborative talents of Deanna Quijada, Ralph Feetham, and Kevin Hartnell.
Blending elements of Progressive Folk, Psychedelic Rock, and atmospheric Art Rock, the album creates a “hypnotic, dreamlike, and completely fresh” listening experience. From the heavy-riffed gothic darkness of “Cathedral” to the syncopated, psychedelic, progressive textures of “Those Who Leave,” the album is a testament to the power of three.
Critical Reception & Reviews
The album was met with widespread critical acclaim from the progressive music community upon its release.
Eric Perry @ DPRP praised the album’s depth:
“…a vibrant testament to the power of three… A laid back Folk groove is predominant in many of the songs on the album and when it is combined with a mysterious, gothic darkness – such as that found on Synaptic Edge – there is something of Phideaux to be found… This is an album that by and large takes its time… balanced with great effect by the number of harder edged tracks.”
Jason Spencer @ Progulator wrote:
“Trinity & Triage have crafted a debut album that is hypnotic, dreamlike, and completely fresh. Yes, it’s slow and subtle, but it’s also furiously sung, expertly played, and massively entertaining… worthy of prog fans of all stripes.”
André de Boer @ DPRP.net commented on the genre-bending style:
“Take a look at this London-based band which creates really fantastic, sensitive, high quality, mesmerising and renewing progressive folk. And don’t take ‘folk’ too literally here. I also like the use of Hammond organ on some songs.”
ElectricDisk.com highlighted the instrumentation:
“The wicked keyboard riffs destroy any chance you’ll switch the playlist until the song is over. Once the Hammond gets started it commands the air-space and refuses to let you escape from the bitter-sweet harmonic tone.”
Torodd Fuglesteg @ The Sound of Fighting Cats simply stated:
“This band may be the next big thing.”
