Triple Blind is the collaborative project of bassist Nick Jost (Baroness), saxophonist Kyle Nasser, drummer Peter Kronreif, and keyboardist Dov Manski, all longtime friends coming from different corners of the creative music world. The group first came together during the Covid-19 lockdown, working remotely and building music from MIDI sketches and home recordings. That resulted in their 2021 self-titled debut album, which earned them a Chamber Music America New Jazz Works grant, with Nasser as composer.

The four-piece are following it up with a new record titled Cold Walk. Unlike their previous album, Cold Walk was recorded live in a single room at Dreamland Recording Studios, with a focus on collective playing and real-time interaction. “Despite the difference in recording format”, as the press release describes, “the group maintains the pop sensibilities and pairs them with improvisational abstraction to great effect.”

Cold Walk is set for release on February 27th and Triple Blind have already shared two singles from it, the title track and more recently ‘Yarn Spin’, a mean and playful track described as “fun to horror movie soundtrack and back again”. Listen to both below.
