Kelley Stoltz

Double Exposure was a fuller sounding Stoltz, proof that his life as a producer seeped well into his life as a songwriter. It hinted at the influences nagging him awake at night and the widescreen he could put them on, but where that album showed how bright Stoltz could shine, In Triangle Time shows how dark his corners are. Built on a taut bed of post-punk throb and an oil slick shimmer of new wave's sheen, the album kicks up some dirt that was always rubbing off on his prior catalog. As in the past, it's the details that make In Triangle Time stand out, the rubbery rumble of bass under "Jona," the back to back psych warbles on "Crossed Mind Blues" and "You're Not Ice." The album's a headphone wonderland, it lives well on the speakers but it dances through headphones like it was made for close company. For years he's been lauded as the secret weapon of indie rock and with this album following up Double Exposure he's made damn sure that his own name is above the marquee and not buried in the booklet. There's no way this one doesn't let its hooks grow deeper the colder the air turns, so make sure that come November is on your list.
