From the first shimmering chords of the opening track "Cinco de Mayo," it becomes clear that you're headed on a journey. As the tempo builds you can start to see where you're going. It's a world of glitter and fur, grit and grease, wine flasks and ritual. Double Jointer is raw. It's in your face and it feels good. The album has a lo-fi richness with a dense mix and haunting reverb. It'll remind you of your favorite garage rock, but better, because it's way sexier. It's primal and swanky, pagan love hymnals with a touch of mysticism.

At times it makes you feel like you've entered a carnival of lost souls. "Blood and Arrow" could be playing at the neon-lit and graffiti-marred merry-go-round where you ride the backs of nymphs and fauns. As the song dips and spins the organ works your psyche like a hypnotist. "Eyes to See" will make you shake, writhe and dance in ways that'd make your mother blush.

"Jinx" brings it all into focus. The way it moves and builds it's a racing train full of carnies and kings and as you grab on, it takes you - and takes you fast. Golden Triangle are the people your mother warned you about. After you've turned this album up and made the wild in your bedroom, you'll realize that you, too, are the people your mother warned you about. If you weren't already there, Golden Triangle brought you into the fold. (Hardly Art)
