Every Wednesday, the ugly hug shares a playlist personally curated by an artist/band that we have been enjoying. This week we have a collection of songs put together by Toronto-based artist Eva Link of the project Triples.

Originally formed as a duo with her younger sister Madeline Link (PACKS) on drums, Triples was a force, glimmering and carefree, singing rock songs that beamed with playful melodies and distortion that tangled up loose harmonies like a knot of twinkle lights. Their last full length was 2019’s Big Time, where songs of growing pains became something like a pillow fort with a sturdy foundation; a commemoration of what it meant to be disheveled, curious and imaginative in hindsight of everything you now know. Last year, Eva released “So Soon”, the first new Triples track in a a handful of years, offering a blast of both energy and sincerity; returning to the ruckus, where dance parties are scheduled because you know they’re good for you and where laughing so hard you snort through your nose is the most genuine sign of endearment.

About the playlist Eva shares;

I like to take my dog on walks in this big forested park near my house and it’s so sublime in the fall when all the leaves start to turn, the sidewalks are wet, there’s a little chill in the air. When Autumn comes around I always feel more introspective and moody and love to indulge in those feelings by listening to a playlist like this while wandering around Toronto. This playlist is a combination of 90s shoegaze-y songs, melancholy folk, and experimental indie rock that I thought all had a similarly wistful tone that would pair well with a misty fall time moment.
