Drummer Jonne Taavitsainen loves trios. At the same time, he strongly dislikes conformity. Threedom especially is an atmospheric, almost trance-like affair, the band's debut album Leap of Faith leading the listener into equally comforting and unsettling territory. This is right where Threedom feel most at home: After four years of intense songwriting and touring, the band have finally found where they belong. Essential to the Threedom sound is the tight integration of two axes: On the one hand, Joel Parvamo's guitar, which hints at the blues, paints glassy overtones and infuses the melodic arches with an almost cosmic dreaminess. On the other hand, the hypnotic rhythm section propelled forward by Taavitsainen himself and his congenial partner in crime, bassist Joonas Tuuri. The fusion of these different influences creates a distinct style, which hints at slow acoustic drum n bass in the vein of early Erik Truffaz and even ambient. The credits mention the exact percentages of the individual musicians' contributions - "Moment 4", for example, adds up to: Parvamo 29.33%, Taavitsainen 29.33% and Tuuri 29.33%. The point behind the statistics is not to be pedantic, but to reflect the constantly changing constellations and fluid shifts in emphasis that make Leap of Faith such an exciting and excitingly different proposition: Even when you think you've heard everything in the trio setting, this album still offers plenty of surprises.
