Triumvirate is the third and final report from the collaboration between Factory Floor's Nik Void and former Throbbing Gristle members Chris Carter and Cosey Fanni Tutti. Like the trio's previous two recordings, 2012's live document Transverse and 2015's studio effort f(x), this one is entirely improvised, and sounds like it. Carter's sequenced rhythmic explorations flow underneath waves of slashing guitars and striking feedback effects played by Tutti and Void, and the three artists are perpetually tuned into the same spiritual wavelength, so that every brushstroke on the sonic landscape seems perfectly in place. All six pieces generally operate within the same mindset, making them all sound like variations on a theme, but each of these alterations nudge this extended techno-meditation into a different direction. The burbling arpeggios of "t3.3" are like a faint ray of sunshine, which actually elevates the mood a greater deal than it might seem on the surface. Void's entranced vocals appear sparingly, making the biggest impact during "t3.5," where she snarls and hisses over stilted dub-influenced rhythms and gnarly feedback. Otherwise, the album continues in its brooding industrial drone techno mode, disregarding the pressures of the outside world and venturing down its own enlightened path. ~ Paul Simpson
