kel kontraire I encountered Golden Triangle via Pandora in like 2015. “Cinco De Mayo” and “Arson Wells” landed in one of my “stations.” Immediately loved the distinctive sound. Got this LP. Played it a bunch. Then it got shelved for a few years until stumbling back onto them here on Bandcamp in 2021. Rekindled my appreciation. At first just a few songs in playlists, then the whole record on heavy rotation. I love everything about this band. Two years later, I’m collecting the rest of their output. Favorite track: Arson Wells.

about

Brooklyn's greatest natural resources are rats, crime and dirt. Out of this ugly and overpriced ex-industrial vermin ranch has risen a band that are so loud and full of life that they not only make it bearable but they almost make the squalor seem charming and full of possibility. You go to a Golden Triangle show and it's like being welcomed into a clubhouse full of drunken carousing; good feeling permeates what was before merely a room with booze and a stage.

Golden Triangle is a band of three girls and three boys who play music that's loud, spooky, and will make you aroused and ambitious when you experience it live. I guess they're psychedelic or garage or something. Maybe post punks? They have two singing ladies who sound like soulful ghosts. In general the music is like being in a fun haunted house and the ghosts are cool but you never totally relax because, I mean, they're supernatural beings.

Recorded over a two week period at Key Club Recording Company with producer Chris Coady (Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Beach House, Blonde Redhead), Double Jointer has the speed and catchiness of the current garage / weird-punk / lo-fi shit with some profoundly goth under-currents and some no-wave guitar over-currents. The instruments have that good/bad blown out quality and the spectral lady singers are commanding and demanding, all knowing entities. Lead-off track "Cinco de Mayo" starts out with some slow, strummy surf-guitarmanship and gets faster and faster until the dam bursts and in come the siren vocals which sound like the band is howling derisive laughter at you. This is just the beginning, and the feverish tambourine crash-fest continues unabated until the aural house appropriately burns down with a slithering guitar line on epic album closer "Arson Wells."

Double Jointer is the debut full-length record from Brooklyn's Golden Triangle
