Tristeza's new full-length, Paisajes, is an album of sound, color and textures brought to height by 13 years of perseverance & creative inventiveness. Each twist loosens patterns of trancelike interlacing guitars akin to Spacemen 3, Felt or late period Talk Talk & early Durutti Column. Bass and rhythmic patterns influenced by Nigerian Afro Funk, Latin Cumbia & 60's / 70's German Kraut grooves. Sonically and creatively one of the most refreshing and therapeutic albums of recent years...
The now classic 2003 debut full-length from The Jealous Sound. "...heartfelt guitar rock capable of punching you in the gut and patting you on the back. Grade: A" - Spin Magazine *** NOW AVAILABLE ON LIMITED EDITION 2xLP COLORED VINYL -- MAILORDER ONLY ***
"The electro-punk trio earned its share of Pitchfork love for its buzzing, energetic yet oddly dreamy approach to synthesized minimalism. Live, it's even more of a rush". - LA Times
"Full of regret, hard-won wisdom and DIY pop
artistry, No Need To Be Downhearted transcends bog standard indie to
build a world of sophisticated melody and ingenious arrangements" - 4
out of 5 stars - Mojo Magazine
