Concept albums have always appealed to me, not necessarily single central narratives, but rather collections of songs that hold a uniform mood or theme.In an attempt to do just that, album, I kept coming across all these references to triangles.
On a lecture by the great Buckminster Fuller that I found online, he talks about the threeness of the Universe and the stability of the triangle. Discussing this with an old friend, architect, and designer Juan Lopez de Heredia, he explained how the triangle is the most common shape in nature and the cosmos. Around that time, I also came across an old, tattered copy of Johannes Kepler’s Astronomia Nova full of beautiful triangular shapes and imagery which inspired me for the album artwork. But most amazingly, I was once at my friend’s house; writer Harry Atkins, when I picked up a book of Julio Cortázar’s short stories from his bookshelf and the first age my eyes settled on was a reference to the triangular shape of an axolotl’s head. I didn’t know what all these references to triangles meant, but I felt like I had to use them for this album somehow!
The songs present an assemblage of influences; the music, films, literature, and spirituality that inspired me to make music in the first place. Fly Away. However, my love for psychedelic folk music from the 60s and early 70s is predominant throughout; particularly Donovan, Linda Perhacs, Vashti Bunyan, Clive Palmer, Pearls Before Swine or John Ferdinando/Peter Howell; the guys behind Agincourt and Ithaca, two hugely inspiring records.
As with all my music, Triangle was recorded in my bedroom, often late at night or early in the morning, hence the subdued playing and singing! In order to
give the album more texture I ed a few musician friends, including pedal-steel guitarist Hamilton Belk, who really took the songs some of the songs.
