Trinity & Triage – “Purposeful Mess”

March 14, 2024

Ten years ago, Trinity & Triage released a self-titled album with 11 tracks of psychedelic rock, progressive rock. Ralph Feetham composed the music, Deanna Quijada wrote lyrics and performed vocal duties, while Kevin Hartnell contributed various instrumentation, production, arrangements and mixing. Fans of Trinity & Triage should also check out the updated release of the first album as it contains extra tracks.

Fast forward ten years and the release of “Purposeful Mess” has arrived. The track was originally slated to be released on the first album, but didn’t make the initial cut. Fans of Kate Bush, Mazzy Star, Opal, and Dead Can Dance take note. We hope you enjoy this look into the archives from Trinity & Triage.

Trinity & Triage Release New Track: “Tilting”

September 25, 2015

Trinity & Triage Release New Track: “Tilting”

Trinity & Triage have released a new track today called “Tilting.”

A melancholy ballad blending elements of psychedelic, folk, and progressive rock, the track strips away percussion entirely to rely on atmospheric textures and songwriting. This sound perfectly encapsulates the various changes going on in the lives of the band members.

In particular, Ralph Feetham recently survived a severe fire in his home that damaged the second floor. Fortunately, everyone is fine. The same cannot be said about some of the guitars. Ralph is busy trying to get things back in order and we wish him and his family all the best during the turmoil created by this horrific life event.

There are quite a few songs started by the prolific Mr. Feetham waiting for work to be done. It’s a matter of time (and lots of money) at this point.

About Trinity & Triage

Born from the songwriting of Ralph Feetham, then later joined by Deanna Quijada and Kevin Hartnell, Trinity & Triage began working on their first demo together (“Scorn”) back in 2011. The project encapsulates a blend of progressive, psychedelic, indie, folk, world, and retro rock sounds.

Trinity & Triage: Self-Titled Debut Album (Progressive Psychedelic Rock)

January 10, 2014

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.”
