GOLDEN TRIANGLE
DOUBLE JOINTER (HARDLY ART)
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 horny 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.
Their previous three EPs and cassette are all sold out and gone. Their forthcoming debut full length, "Double Jointer", is what is happening now.
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.
GOLDEN TRIANGLE are buddies with BLACK LIPS, KING KHAN and QUINTRON and play with them a bunch.
If you like those bands, you could easily like this band too.
