New York triad Triathalon will release their new album, ‘Funeral Music’, on May 16th via Lex Records.
The band – comprising Adam Intrator,Chad ChiltonandHunter Jayne – have shared a preview of their new material in the form of ‘RIP’ – a ’90s grunge-rock ode to bands that inspired a teenage fervour, like Nirvana, Deftones and Pearl Jam.
“The aim for ‘RIP’ was to kick start feelings on what it felt like to listen to a late ’90s rock song for the first time as a kid in your parents car in the backseat and asking to hear it louder. ‘RIP’ has a double meaning; it’s about both dying and being reborn,” Adam Intrator says,
‘Funeral Music’,Triathalon’s fifth album, comes three years after the release of ‘Spin’ – a time capsule of a band in transition sauntering between lucid dreams and reality; riffed on by warped guitar licks, echoed voices and hollow sound system-plunging breakdowns.
Their new album began taking shape when the band imagined what they’d like played during their memorials. Continuously referencing “play this at my funeral” throughout writing and recording, the album became a realisation of this notion.
