Sydney’s Triple One today share their latest single ‘Salina’, the second glimpse of their feverishly-anticipated debut album Panic Force, due for release this October.
Listen to ‘Salina’ HERE.
With crunching guitars, skittering trap drums, emo-inflected vocals, and a falling, crystal-clear melody, ‘Salina’ recalls the group’s earliest experiments in genre and texture. Boasting sharp production and a wealth of hooks, ‘Salina’ blows the Triple One sound up to the most refined degree of pop prowess yet, as they ready their debut album for release. Touching on themes of feeling lost and aimless underneath the weight of life’s difficult choices, the single paints an evocative portrait of long, lonely nights spent with indecision, regret, and overthinking swirling around in the head; a devil on one shoulder, an angel on the other. In doing so, it demonstrates once more why the group’s emotional acuity cuts so deep: formidable bars delivered with venom and open-hearted honesty.
Vocalist Marty Bugatti shares that “Salina is about heartbreak and how it often leads to self-destructive behaviour. It’s also about trying really hard but never quite reaching your own expectations and then taking it out on other people because you can’t admit your own wrongs”, while Lil Dijon describes the track as being about “a battle of choices, and in the consequences when the choices are made.”
The release of Triple One’s long-awaited debut LP follows three EPs and a torrent of standalone singles that have catapulted the foursome from underground buzz act to garnering national and international acclaim, including lead single 'Loverose', their ARIA Gold-certified mental health anthem ‘Butter' and radio favourites 'So Easy' and 'Handyman'. Triple One's notoriously chaotic live gigs include a sold-out national tour in 2019, and show-stealing sets at Listen Out, Hidden, and Falls Festival. Along the way, they’ve impressed and surprised with their insatiable, all-consuming appetite to continuously venture into uncharted artistic terrain, and a rebellious desire to constantly fold new sounds and textures into their brand of unbounded, unclassifiable hip-hop.
Panic Force pushes that sonic envelope even further, offering the chance to watch one of Australian hip hop’s most versatile outfits apply themselves to a full-length project. Traversing thrilling peaks and pitch-black lows, Panic Force is a triumph of raw reflection, acknowledging our flaws and all the things that ultimately make us human. Set against the backdrop of a planet in physical and moral decay, Triple One’s debut sees the foursome deliver 12 tracks that highlight their signature diversity while also pushing them, lyrically, conceptually, and sonically, into new territory, exploring themes of relationships and escape, temptation, the hubris of man and much more.
