Triple Fire

About

Triple Fire is the third studio album by Los Angeles-based artist Geneva Jacuzzi, released on August 23, 2024, via Dais Record. The album features standout singles like "Dry" and "Art is Dangerou," which highlight her signature blend of synth-driven pop and experimental electronic music. "Dry" explores themes of disconnection and uncertainty, paired with a striking video, while "Art is Dangerous" reflects her unique artistic vision. Triple Fire builds on Geneva's distinct sound, blending introspective lyrics with innovative production, solidifying her place in the experimental music scene. Since first splashing on to the Southern California circuit in the mid- aught, Geneva Jacuzzi (née Garvin) quickly cemented herself as the queen of the Los Angeles underground. Her immersive and unhinged multimedia performances are the stuff of legend, a psychotropic gallery of mask, costume, confrontation, and massive art installation. Jacuzzi’s recordings are equally revered, catchy hooks and cryptic moods dusted in 4-track grit. The arrival of her third official full-length, and Dais Records debut, is cause for such celebration. 'Triple Fire' vividly expands and crystallizes Jacuzzi’s signature fusion of midnight melody and mutant aerobics across a 12-track hit parade of wildcard synth-pop and sly post-apocalyptic camp. Her enthusiasm for the album is as bold as her body of work: “Halfway through, we started calling this the record of the prophecy, the record that’s going to save mankind.” Opener "Laps of Luxury" sets the template – a strobe-lit dreamer’s delight of swaggering synth ba, Haçienda drum machinery, and sultry vocal spellcasting ("Tragic mysteries I’ve known for centuries / I burned all memories and turned to fantasy"). The collection burns through shades of sardonic strut ("Art Is Dangerou," "Nu2U," co-produced by Josh da Costa, "Keep It Secret"), coldwave kiss off ("Speed Of Light," co-produced by Andrew Clinco of Drab Majesty), retro-futurist body music ("Dry," "Scene Ballerina," "Bow Tie Eater"), and cheeky glitterball pop ("Take It Or Leave It," "Heart Full Of Poison" co-produced by Roderick Edens and Andrew Briggs). She likens the eclectic spectrum of moods to the continuum of human emotions: "Funny, sexy, sad, scary, witty, hopeful, menacing. Eventually it deconstruct, turns into a party, and then ends sweet and soft. Like a horror film, watched in reverse." .
