CD DetailsSynopsis
Album Description San Diego's instrumental post-rock quintet came together after playing in such seminal San Diego bands as The Locust, Crimson Curse, Swing Kids, and Gogogo Airheart among others. 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 and optimism present here; a sanguine feeling that permeates the whole album. A colorful journey beyond instrumental post-rock, delving into the darker realms of modern psychedelia. Similar CDs

CD ReviewsA fresh sound that is both tranquil and uplifting P. Getchell | Normal, IL | 03/10/2006 (5 out of 5 stars) "Tristeza takes full advantage of the instrumental format to bring you songs such as Liquid Pyramid, which deliver a full sound that can pull the stress and angst right out of you. I am a graduate student that needs uninterrupted reading time, and my trusty mp3 player helps with that. The absence of vocals coupled with a smooth sound make this album ideal for this application. The other strong point of this album is that it is one that you could put in your player, hit play, and listen to it in its entirety." Anything but melancholy aqua melina | san diego, ca | 12/19/2005 (5 out of 5 stars) "Although Tristeza translates to "melancholy" in english, I felt nothing but happiness and fortune being able to see them live at the Knitting Factory in Hollywood just a couple weeks ago, right after the release of "A Colores". I'm a newbier fan, and Tristeza have instantly become favorites. I really can't describe how their music makes me feel, except just transported. That's how their melodies made me feel live at their show, and just driving or sitting or working and listening to them. Flawless. Highly, highly recommended if you are more "old school" and like Pat Metheny or a little new school and like "Explosions in the Sky". To wrap this up, these songs sound like their CD looks: a musical work of art." They can't help it if they're beautiful.... Rich Grace | Guerneville, CA United States | 08/31/2007 (5 out of 5 stars) "Yo La Tengo meets Pat Metheny, or possibly what U2 would sound like if they fired Bono, hired a keyboardist and became a jazz-rock band. I first heard this San Diego group on Pandora, and I'm frankly stunned. It seems as though this band cannot help themselves; every time they touch their instruments they create beauty, almost without conscious thought. This is a remarkably consistent album, and specifying standout tracks is almost beside the point this time. Perfect working music, filled with melodies over arpeggio patterns shared among guitars and keyboards. No acid-band noodling either. Comfortably avoids the boring "Windham Hill effect" and self-indulgent soloitis common to so many instrumental bands. All in all this is one of the best finds of the year for me. Tristeza is ineffable."
