The Lovely Sparrow – Multiple Lives (video premiere)
The Lovely Sparrows - Multiple Lives (video still) The Lovely Sparrows are an American indie rock band formed in Austin, Texas in 2005 by singer-songwriter Shawn Jones. Initially releasing a self-issued 7″ single Take Your Hats Off You Godless Bastards, they quickly established themselves on the local scene with a rotating lineup of collaborators. In 2006, the band issued their debut EP, Pulling Up Floors, Pouring on (New) Paint, via Abandoned Love Records, and, their first full-length album, Bury the Cynics, arrived in 2008. In 2011, they issued a new EP, …

(Make Me A) TRISTE© Mixtape Episode 239: Hirta (+ video premiere)
Hirta (©Ash Drummond) Hirta is the solo project of Scottish - American multi instrumentalist Alistair Paxton, well known for his guitar work with Shilpa Ray and for touring and working in recording studios with multiple other artists. His debut album is called Soft Peaks. Soft Peaks finds solace in the natural world and comforts through an intriguing map of familiar trailheads and newly chartered terrain. It casts a windswept and lonely spell, yet retains an air of optimism across its ten warm and desolate tracks. This album was self produced and recorded in 2025 in sessions split between the Hudson Valley town of Nyack, NY and rural Bovina in the Western Catskill mountains culminating in both vinyl and digital releases under Paxton’s own imprint, Half Painted Door.

Le firme di TRISTE©: il 2024 di Francesco Giordani
Francesco Giordani per TRISTE© Mentre tutti ci interroghiamo su quale possa essere oggigiorno il senso di compilare una classifica delle migliori pubblicazioni musicali dell’anno -lo avete notato? Mai come oggi abbiamo la sensazione di ascoltare tantissima musica, mai come oggi abbiamo la sensazione di non riuscire ad ascoltare tutta la musica che vorremmo…- non avendo in tasca risposte particolarmente brillanti alla pur legittima domanda, mi limito a segnalare gli album che, fra le “novità ”, più ho ascoltato con sincera emozione nel corso dell’ultimo anno e ai quali si legherà la gran parte dei miei ricordi datati 2024.

Bananagun - Why Is the Colour of the Sky? di Francesco Giordani
loading . . .
Bananagun – Why Is the Colour of the Sky?
Francesco giordani per TRISTE© Il notevole videoclip di Mind’s A Lie dei londinesi High Vis pare a tratti raccontare il sequel delle imprese del giovanissimo protagonista di un altro videoclip, ovvero This Can’t Go On di Bill Ryder-Jones, che tanto avevamo amato nei primi mesi di quest’anno. Nella staffetta tra il primo e il secondo tempo del racconto, esaurita la spinta idealistica della prima giovinezza, l’ex adolescente ormai adulto continua la sua folle corsa a testa bassa, che appare improvvisamente come priva di una meta, più simile allo sbattere d’ali di un uccello in gabbia o allo smanacciare di un pugile che prende a pugni la sua ombra, tenuto in vita solo dal vibrare della propria rabbia.

(Make Me A) TRISTE© Mixtape Episode 184: The Gentle Spring
The Gentle Spring (©Philippe Dufour) The Gentle Spring are a new group, formed by Michael Hiscock, Emilie Guillaumot and JĂ©rĂ©mie Orsel. Michael has an illustrious pop history, having been a founder member of The Field Mice, possibly the most beloved band on Sarah Records in the 1990s. When Michael and his friend Bobby Wratten formed The Field Mice, the two of them very quickly created a set of songs whose emotional honesty, raw guitars and perfect pop melodies pierced the hearts of a generation of indiepop fans, kids who were unmoved by the posturing of mainstream indie, and who didn’t want to spend time in fields dancing at 24-hour raves.Â

Fragile, yet coherent and utterly charming songs with a warm cloudy depth, sweet melodies and some gorgeous vocal harmonising, beautifully sung and played. In the following couple of years, Songs Of Green Pheasant had two more records on FatCat: …

Peppe Trotta per TRISTE© Se mi venisse chiesto quale è stato l’ultimo disco di debutto ad avermi folgorato fin dal primo ascolto senza mai cedere una briciola in intensità nel corso degli anni, non avrei alcun dubbio su cosa rispondere. Lovetune For Vacuum fu amore puro al primo ascolto, rapimento ed estasi che nel tempo si sono rinnovati, anche se con forza minore, nei lavori successivi firmati Soap&Skin.
