"a fast, tight and awesomely expert conjunction of spiky high-energy compositions" 5/5 The Guardian
"Gary Barlow...should be proud...Something to play his guests at Christmas" 4/5 The Times
"the perfect Bizzaro Xmas number one." 4/5 Time Out
At the heart of Leeds improvisational music scene sit a triad of
boundary-pushing musical zealots, whose tastes and influences know no
boundaries. trioVD are unlike any other band on the planet.
No one could have anticipated that trioVD next move would be craft a conceptual EP called ‘X'. Little-known to the average X Factor viewer (yes, the behemoth televisual franchise that shakes the festive period), trioVD (whose 2009 debut became MOJO Jazz Album Of The Year) dive through a blundering Meshuggah-meets-Coltrane math-punk take on Tulisa, through the celtic-jig-on-steroids come pseudo-power-ballad of Walsh, to the 90s pop peaks and monotone slumps of Barlow and the sensitivity and grace of trip-hop infused Kelly,
over 20 minutes. Love it or loath it (just like X Factor itself), brace
yourself for a unique and unforgettable listening experience.
