Troika My Brain Is a Receiver

Troika is an atmospheric-experimental rock 3-piece from Christchurch. Their sound ranges from gentle and atmospheric passages to dynamic, intense walls of distortion and feedback and is influenced by the likes of Pink Floyd, Sigur Rós, Tool and Mogwai.

With their third full-length album, My Brain Is a Receiver, New Zealand progressive rock act Troika decided to make ‘Mandala’, the third track on record, available for streaming. At over nine minutes and a half, the song is drenched in post-rock, with the 7/4 motif being repeated, altered, interchanged, and built upon in order to create release and tension over an underlying swelling of the tides. The abundance of effect pedals, past the halfway point, contributes to the power and personality of this track.
