Bleak Enterprise triples sign and unveils debut EP, Every Good Story
Eva Link, known for her work as a songwriter and actor, has recently signed with Bleak Enterprise, a new label established by Tom McGreevy of the Toronto duo Ducks Ltd. McGreevy was inspired to create the label after encountering the Oregon power-pop project Bory, and the name Bleak is a nod to Ducks Ltd.’s 2019 debut EP, Get Bleak. In a statement, McGreevy expresses his sole intention for Bleak Enterprise is to support musicians whose work he genuinely enjoys. He emphasizes the abundance of talented artists creating valuable music and the limited resources available to help them garner an audience. Having toured extensively in recent years, McGreevy has encountered numerous artists whose work excites him and believes in providing a platform to showcase their music.
Triples, the musical project spearheaded by Eva Link, released their latest album titled “Every Good Story” in the wake of a personal family tragedy for Link. She reflects that while the songs on the album do not directly address her grief, they were recorded during a period of profound emotional upheaval. The lead single from the album, “Be Around,” offers listeners a glimpse into this emotional journey. Link shares the inspiration behind the track, recounting a moment from the early stages of her relationship with her boyfriend. While working at a café, she found herself so consumed with thoughts of her partner that she accidentally burned her hands on a panini press. Despite the physical discomfort, Link was unfazed as she was deeply content and comforted by the security of the relationship. The lyrics of the song capture this intense feeling of being consumed by love and the tendency to prioritize the relationship over personal well-being.
Link delves into the emotional rollercoaster of early love and its impact on her sense of self. She recalls a period where she would neglect her own needs in favor of nurturing the relationship, leading to a sense of disorientation once the honeymoon phase had passed. The lyrics of “Be Around” echo these sentiments, exploring the all-encompassing nature of infatuation and the challenges it poses in maintaining a healthy balance in life. Through her music, Link offers a poignant reflection on the complexities of love and the ways in which it can shape our perceptions and priorities.
With Every Good Story, Triples invites listeners to embark on a musical journey that delves into the depths of human emotion and personal growth. Link’s poignant songwriting and emotive vocals serve as a testament to the power of music in translating personal experiences into universal narratives. As a part of the Bleak Enterprise roster, Triples stands as a promising addition to a label dedicated to showcasing and supporting unique voices in the indie music scene.
