Guitarist Robert Dallas Grey explains in press supplies how “Love Trinity” has “taken on extra significance over time, as a result of it seems like a swansong.” He writes:

It’s good to mark ‘Love Trinity,’ as a music—it’s at all times felt prefer it slipped by means of the cracks a bit. It was the final music we recorded, one of many final we wrote. We recorded it as a one-off single for Trifekta Data in Australia, to advertise the tour we had been going to do there. I believe it felt fairly totally different from the opposite stuff; it got here out of Chris’s bassline (which a whole lot of issues did), and it had the delay impact on the guitar, and the type of large guitar solo. There’s even a component the place Sue’s vocals are multi-tracked—so whereas all of the earlier stuff had intentionally been very dry and reside sounding, it was extra of a type of atmospheric factor. I don’t assume it was anybody’s favorite on the time, however lots of people we knew liked it and mentioned it was one of the best factor we’d accomplished. For me it’s taken on extra significance over time, as a result of it seems like a swansong, I suppose.
