Berlin-based band Tristesse is poised to make a big impact on the indie and shoegaze scenes with their four-song debut EP
From the first few notes of distorted guitar, it's clear that Tristesse is a force to be reckoned with.
Lead singer Jannes-Maximilian Priebels's emotive vocals and the band's dense yet airy soundscape come together perfectly on tracks like "Rausch" and "Kreis." In "Mono," Priebels sings of the desire for escape with a chorus that lingers long after the EP ends.
Tristesse's introspective lyrics, which touch on themes of depression and mental health in "Serotonin," will resonate with fans of the indie scene's open approach to tackling issues of the psyche.
The band's collaboration with producer Magnus Wichmann, who has worked with underground boundary-pushers like Lingua Nada and La Petit Mort / Little Death, brings together elements of indie and avant-garde in a way that is sure to draw attention. Tristesse may just shine brighter than they realize.
