Details: In 2013, Tristen released CAVES, recorded partly in Nashville by Jeremy Ferguson, part in Omaha with Mike Mogis (Bright Eyes, M Ward) and mixed by synth-pop pioneer Stephen Hague (New Order, Pet Shop Boys). Just like her previous albums, CAVES was named "Best Local Album of 2013" by the Nashville Scene Critic's Poll and in the "Top 50 Albums of 2013" by American Songwriter. SPIN Magazine claimed that the new sound of CAVES had recast the songwriter as "a synth pop siren". Since then, Tristen and her "knack for penning an infectious hook" (Entertainment Weekly) has collaborated with artists like Vanessa Carlton (she co-wrote Carlton's latest album Love is an Art) and Jenny Lewis (playing in the Voyager touring band), and opened to critical acclaim for artists ranging from Robyn Hitchcock to Television. CAVES was where Tristen started to establish herself as the prolific and introspective musician you know and love today. But, there's more to this story. You see, three tracks remain from this "synth pop siren". There's two songs you've never heard plus an extended remix of a single you've surely loved. Put that together and you've got ZENITH, a 7" EP due in stores worldwide on January 31. It's the first release from Tristen since 2021's Aquatic Flowers. ZENITH is available January 31, 2025 on Pupsnake Records/Well Kept Secret.
