Influenced by the sunny jangle of the Byrds, the warm psychedelia of Pink Floyd, and the bouncy melodies of the Beatles, Triptides never sound in thrall to their heroes. Instead, their music feels like a modern, kaleidoscopic continuation of the magical sounds of the late '60s, spiced with a little bit of the Paisley Underground and dipped in modern, reverb-heavy production techniques. Their early albums saw the band learning their craft, and by the time of 2015's Azur, they were making assured psychedelic pop on par with any of their contemporaries. A move to Curation Records in 2021 for Alter Echoes coincided with their biggest, most professional-sounding effort yet, which they followed with the wide-ranging, jazz-fusion-tinged Starlight in 2023.
