Toronto indie-pop outfit Triples has been on the backburner for over five years now, as one half of the sisterly duo has been pursuing her solo endeavor PACKS in the interim. Yet last month, Eva Link announced the project’s return as a solo venture (though we anticipate a Snocaps-esque reunion sometime in the future) with a new EP dropping at the end of the month entitled Every Good Story. The first of those good stories, “Be Around,” introduced the four-track collection as the same sort of minimalist pop-punk Triples has always excelled at, and today’s reveal of “Gonna Be Good” takes the form of ’90s-set pop in the vein of Liz Phair.
Regarding the song’s subject matter—which is the ideal New Year’s mantra, really—Link explains: “I was in a down and anxious state of mind, but I didn’t want to write a song about it. I thought that by writing about it directly, I would be commemorating it—plus, overthinking it all was just plain exhausting. I was indignant toward these feelings of doubt and feeling guilty for no reason—I wanted to have power over them. I wanted to fight back against these annoying feelings so they’d just go away. It’s obviously not that simple, but it felt cathartic to firmly decide, ‘This time I’m gonna be good.’”
Every Good Story will arrive on January 30 via Bleak Enterprise, the newly launched label from Ducks Ltd.’s Tom McGreevy (the name is both a nod to the title of the band’s debut EP and the reality of launching an independent record label in the year of our lord 2026).
