Quite surprisingly, The Triad is the first Pantha Du Prince solo full-length since 2010's well received Black Noise. Like that set, which saw Hendrick Weber continue his obsession with the melodious end of minimal techno, The Triad is a vibrant and picturesque affair, drawing influence from the late night atmospherics of James Blake, and the bubbly IDM of Boards of Canada, as much as the dancefloors of Berlin, Cologne or Frankfurt. As usual, Weber has managed to combine electronics with acoustic instrumentation without spoiling the shuffling dancefloor mood, and the album's various vocal tracks are notable for their immense dreaminess. If you've never taken a trip into Weber's warming world before, The Triad offers the perfect introduction.
