Belgian (of Dutch origin) artist Chantal Acda needs absolutely no introduction. Her earlier musical odysseys, including Sleepingdog, her project in conjunction with Adam Wiltzie of Stars of The Lid (Naked in a Clean Bed, 2006, Polar Life, 2008 and Whit Our Heads In The Clouds And Our Hearts In The Fields, 2011), her solo albums, Let Your Hands be My Guide (2013), The Sparkle In Our Flaws (2015), Bounce Back (2017), Puwawau (2019) and Saturday Moon (2021), and her collaborations with Chris Eckman and Eric Thielemans (as Distance, Light & Sky, Casting Nets, 2014, and Gold Coast, 2018), the dutch poet Lotte Dodion (Nu Nog Even Niet – #1 & #2, 2018), Bill Frisell (Live At Jazz Middelheim, 2018), and Bruno Bavota (A Closer Distance, 2022) has resonated with audiences worldwide.
Her new album, Silently Held comes to life with the collaborative brilliance of accomplished musicians.

“Jenny said
When she was just about five years old
You know why parents gonna be the death of us all
Two TV sets and two Cadillac cars
Well you know, it ain’t gonna help me at all, not just a tiny bit
Then one fine mornin’ she turns on a New York station
She doesn’t believe what she hears at all
Ooh, she started dancin’ to that fine fine music
You know her life is saved by rock ‘n’ roll, yeah rock ‘n’ roll
Despite all the computations
You could just dance
To that rock ‘n’ roll station“
Velvet Underground – Rock & Roll

Ci auguriamo davvero che Matteo Maioli si goda la presenza di TRISTE© nella sua trasmissione quanto ce la godiamo noi. Perché ci stiamo proprio facendo l’abitudine e ci dispiacerebbe fare la fine di quegli ospiti che sono graditi quando arrivano, ma poi non si vede l’ora che tornino a casa loro. Anche perché, come dicevamo l’ultima volta che siamo stati qui, a Indi(e)pendenze ci sentiamo un po’ a casa (e non vorremmo rischiare di allargarci troppo).

TRISTE© favourite Seablite, from San Francisco, purveyors of magnificent dreampop and fog pop melodies, partner with Ride’s Andy Bell and his GLOK project to reimagine Faded, off their recent Lemon Lights LP, which, mastered by Mark Gardener of Ride, was out on 29 September 2023 on Mt.St.Mtn.

After releasing Chance Occurrence, their first single in eight years, back in november 2023, Postal Blue, Brazilian singer-songwriter Adriano do Couto own creature, is back with a new self-released double A-side digital single, I Should Have Known / When You’re Not Here, which will be out tomorrow, February 2nd, via their Bandcamp page.
We, at TRISTE©, have the honour to share with you, in advance, the first song from the single!
