Triathalon — the New York-based trio of Adam Intrator, Chad Chilton and Hunter Jayne — announces its new album, Funeral Music (Lex Records), out May 16, 2025, and presents the lead single/video,“RIP.” Funeral Music, the band’s fifth album, began taking shape when the band imagined what they’d like to play during their memorials. Continuously referencing “play this at my funeral” throughout writing and recording, the album realized this concept.

Lead single “RIP” is a 90s-influenced rock track inspired by artists like Pixies, Deftones, and Nirvana. Adam Intrator says, “The aim for ‘RIP’ was to kick start feelings on what it felt like to listen to a late 90s rock song for the first time as a kid in your parents car in the backseat and asking to hear it louder. ‘RIP’ has a double meaning; it’s about both dying and being reborn.” 

The track comes accompanied with a music video by Haoyan of America.
