The album is PDP's first solo record since Black Noise in 2010. In 2013 he collaborated with The Bell Laboratory on Elements of Light.
In a press release, the artist, real name Hendrik Weber, wrote that "Black Noise was very much about me being alone in a small room in Berlin and composing... The Triad opens the structure to more human ways of interacting, not digitized ways of interacting. It's not about Facebook; it's about meeting up and jamming. I wanted to cut through the digital dust that surrounds us."
