Trillium
Shines With Aurora
AS THE TITLE SUGGESTS, THIS ALBUM IS NOTHING BUT AN AGGRESSIVE
CINEMATIC JOURNEY.
Trillium is an electronic dance music duo based
from Brooklyn, New York, USA, composed of Janet
Krupin and Alex Caraballo.
Their latest release, an extended play entitled “Aurora,”
is unlike your usual EDM album. Trillium, in six tracks,
delivers brilliance of variety and energy, starting right
with the first track, “Prelude.” This song brings waves
of emotion and melancholy in the blasting orchestral
strings, and the vocals add a haunting effect to complement the overall vibe of the song. The prelude track
builds up the perfect amount of energy, setting the
stage and the dance floor for the second track, “Us
Again.”
The second track proves enough for the listeners that
Trillium goes hard and is unafraid to go all-out aggressive, while still maintaining control on the beat and
rhythm. The soft but cinematic verses build up perfectly
for the dropping, grinding, and jumping synths and
beats, which are different both the first and second
time around. Janet Krupin, the vocalist, also does a very
great job in her vocal performance, showing a lot of
power range and dynamics, comparable to Foxes’ vocal

work in Zedd’s “Clarity.”
