Sound: Triarchy's calling card is a broad, sweeping form of electronic dance music. This has two purposes for the trio: first, the lyrics they write are intended to convey emotions that match the ebb and flow of the music and elicit powerful emotions. Second, the grandiosity of the sound is intended as a show of the group's dominance, an important facet of their collective artistic persona. These powerful beats are combined with energetic interplay between vocalists John Martin and Caroline Hjelt to provide energy for the dance floor.
Backstory: Triarchy founders Sebastian Ingrosso, John Martin, and Caroline Hjelt were all DJ's in Stockholm, Sweden, who had been experimenting with creating their own electronic music. The three producers decided in early 2011 to work together, pooling songs together for a debut album. The singles from this first album failed to attract significant attention in the United States, but they did draw notice in their native Sweden, as well as the UK. A stronger label push for their next album, along with the opportunity to craft music that would feature closer cooperation between the trio enabled their follow-up to achieve greater success, notching their first Top 20 hit in the US with "Don't You Worry Child".
Critical Reception: Critics are mixed on Triarchy. The disjointed nature of the first album was more than apparent to most observers, and it generally drew 3/5 ratings. Kings of the Dance Floor received a more favorable reception, and the group is generally considered a name to keep an eye on in the world of electronic music.
What Now: Triarchy has already scraped the bottom of the Top 20 in the United States, but the three DJ's are not content to rest on their laurels. Their third studio album is nearing completion, and they fully expect it to yield even greater success for them. Anything less would be anathema for these rising stars.
Footnotes:
1. Triumvirate was another idea I had for a name. I decided it was just a bit too nerdy, but it's still cool enough I had to include it somewhere.
2. This OTL Icona Pop song has the girls compare themselves to pharaohs; I had to include it, given Triarchy's personality.
Okay, that's Triarchy. I tried to give them a bit more personality than previous artists, so they're arrogant and more than a little pretentious douchebags. Regardless, this was pretty short since like Vocode they're a new group bubbling under. Submariners are next, then WT, then either Kesha or Zooey. I have a lot of artists to juggle here.
