INSOUND TOP SELLER OF 2001Damn, it's been really hard to find Tristeza's releases. With two out of print 7"s, a sold-out Insound Tour Support CD, and a full-length CD which has been in and out of press (not to mention the fact that the LP version is out of print), Tristeza's previously released recordings are already valuable collectable items. Alas, Tristeza's second full-length, Dream Signals in Full Circles, will be widely available as the band gets ready to embark on a world-wide tour to support it.   [ read more ]

It's a c.d. e.p. from San Diego's TRISTEZA recorded at Gravity's new studio and mixed with Pall Jenkins (BLACK HEART PROCESSION,3 MILE PILOT). The sessions for the e.p. took place during 2001, before and after the bands world tour. Six long instrumental songs of drums, bass, two guitar, and keys (+ occasional horns) heavily layered together into psychedelic and spacey jams with tight rhythms. These songs are harsher than the groups usually softer sounds, it is however unmistakably TRISTEZA. The record will    [ read more ]

Tristeza's "Dream Signals in Full Circles" (their second full-length, first for Tiger Style) was was well received when it hit the streets in the summer of 2000. The band captured the hearts and minds of many different music hipsters -- from punk kids (due to the band's past in seminal hardcore bands) to indie rocksters to fans of more electronic oriented music. The band literally toured the world in support of the record having made pitstops in Europe, Japan, Mexico and the U.S. Along the way, t   [ read more ]

This is their third full-length since the release of their critically acclaimed debut Spine & Sensory in 2000. It has layers and textures akin to Boards of Canada and Amon Tobin. Melodic and inventive, emotive and inspirational, the music sings so eloquently throughout, it is nothing less then revelatory. There's great hope    [ read more ]
