Triangle is a soothing album. The songs all have a pleasant melody. There are a lot of diverse instruments, making it a very sophisticated folk album. The lyrics of many of the songs tell colorful stories. The vocals sound just like how someone from the 19th Century would sing a rock album.


This album is consistent, big-sounding, adventurous and borders on the fantastical. The music really helps support and extend the imagery conveyed by the lyrics.


I had no expectations for this album, but it's pretty darn good. It is definitely a new favorite of mine. It is certainly worth listening to. There's not a bad song on this album. The stand out songs are Only Dreaming Now, Painter of Women, The Keeper of Time, Nine Pound Hammer, Triangle and The Wolf of Velvet Fortune.
