Tripolar sees Stuart Jackson, Adam Holmes and MOG reunite as Bang Dirty. The folk/rap/electronic formula will be familiar to fans of their debut effort, Everyone Out. That album attained cult status, a trickle of downloads giving rise to a steady flow of domestic and international purchases, fuelled by word of mouth, a handful of gigs and the lure of lead track Break Up, which was accompanied by a well-received video.

For the band's follow-up, Tripolar retains the lush instrumentation and gritty lyrics, while cranking production up a notch, the lowest depths and highest highs set against a backdrop of haunting piano, ebullient strings and shimmering guitar. 

'She' is part poetry, part love letter while 'Enigma' is downright nasty. Everyone Out featured four guest spots; this time around, only Gasp appears, the Glasgow rapper nailing a 16 onto the assured 'So Many Mics'. Instead, vocal duties are left to MOG who is on top form as he ponders lives lost, time passed and hands won. With Adam Holmes weighing in with saccharine hooks and bitter-sweet choruses, the album switches effortlessly from dark street to smoky bar; sunny scheme to choppy sea. 

During the course of ten tracks, listeners are taken on a ferris feel of emotions and a rollercoaster of sonic palettes; Tripolar is melancholy, angry and elated in equal measure. An apt name for an eagerly-anticipated sequel.

LYRICS:

I'm a joker baby, been doin nothing much but smokin lately /
I must be really bad if someone with your soul can hate me /
I fell beneath a line I couldn't even see before /
Now I'm the worst me I could be, down to my evil core /
I hate the world and the people who inhabit it /
The only way to dull the pain is gettin mad with it /
Never done nothin right, including love or fight / 
Another clueless fool stumbling through his worthless life /
So play the pity song, I know it word for word / 
I've been cursed since I was covered in my mothers blood / 
An speakin of my parents, I was raised a waster / 
Became myself through trying no to turn into my father /
I longed for love so long, I never saw the consequence /
Got lost in fantasy an dreamed away my common sense /
I thought you could at least use me as a sturdy shoulder /
But I was wrong again, I'm still a fuckin joker /

Turns out I couldn't chew what I had bitten off /
Thought I could change who I was, 'ha', what a laugh /
I wish that I could steer my life down a different path /
But every time I try to switch lanes, I hit a ditch and crash /
I'm not a fan of faking, no exaggeration, the only thing that keeps me real is my imagination /
I take a swig and see your face in every star I'm gazing /
An although my passions fading, I still love my gallus nation / 
Crazy, crowed clubs and nights and lengthy lonely days /
I'm contemplating dojy things to do with rope and blades /
It's time to make the great escape but I don't know the way,
This life has made me old and grey, way before my day /
Still trying to find my footing on this shaky globe /
Some think that deaths the way to go, aye maybe so /
I'm sick of trying to prove I'm something cause they say I'm no /
Sometimes I think my whole existence is a scary joke /

I can buy new clothes and act accordingly /
Make out I've changed my ways and talk properly /
I can even pretend that it's reality but it'll never be real, it's just a fantasy /
I can say that don't when I so clearly do /
I can call it my home but I still feel a stray /
I can hide from the truth an try and play the game but at the end of the day, I still remain the same /
Wish I had the courage to cease unnecessary events /
But if I didn't lie, I might not have as many friends /
I'm scared they'll laugh at who I am, so I paint on a face /
I'm a joke, a disgrace, I don't know my place /
Honesty the hardest thing when your as scared as me /
Even although I'm pretty sure the truth will set me free /
Beneath the surface I'm a wreck although my face is poker /
Every days a contradiction when you play the joker /
