TRISTEZA-TEARLESS LIMA, TOUR ONLY CDR +BONUS TRACKS, 2005, MEXICO

lima






















self released by tristeza with help from bulbo of tijuana and in conjunction with Japanese tour:

there might be a common misconception that tristeza follows a certain code of musical terrain to abide by, however trim your ear hairs -these next few posts should prepare that tristeza's sound is not only beyond trivial and mostly lifeless tags such as post rock or instrumental, it can actually transcend said genre's muffin although at times true is the sword, we cannot stop lifeless quiffs or horrible luck. I know for a fact that the pretty and quiet than so loud your brain caves in formula that most "instrumental bands" explore bores this band stiff...in several instances you might add: post punk, kraut, minimal synth, ambient, drone, dub, heelgaze, prog, and musique concrete to the descriptive cataloger of tristeza's sound corral.

some music that may have influenced these recordings include:

cluster, neu, bark psychosis, chris and cosey, silver apples, loop, windy and carl, felt, dif juz, durriti column, cocteau twins, john cage, cybotron, spacemen 3, chrome, talk talk and various psychadelicks.
