“Triage is a spectrum of colour and abstract character, stained with a unique personality. Thanks to this approach, Triage is the finest work from Methyl Ethel yet.” – The Line Of Best Fit“Choc-a-bloc with hooks and head-nodding electro-pop from the get-go, Methyl Ethel have reached great new heights with this stellar effort.” – DIY ★★★★“Polymath prince Jake Webb has landed a perfect triple axel with Methyl Ethel’s album, Triage. It’s the WA band’s third faultless LP, a record that signs off on a songwriting chapter where Webb “got obsessed with a lot of theory, essentially the core of it is trying to discover what it is about songs and why they work.” And, oh they work.” – Herald Sun ★★★★★”It’s another impressive assortment of psychedelic, new-wave pop.” – Beat“Triage sees Methyl Ethel craft another album of intricately crafted alternative dreamy pop, utilising a wider range of synth sounds than before to amazing effect, with melodies shimmering and cutting through the mix.” – RTRFM“Triage is a diverse and dynamic fringe-pop triumph.” – X-Press
