Espuma

the first 3 songs on the album are far from triteza's unmistakable sound. the absence of jimmy lavell is so recognizable that the songs almost seem incomplete. the next 4 songs are breath taking, jimmy's appearance is even noticable in track 5 which reminds us of past albums.this new ep definately shows how much the band has evolved into a slightly different groove with emphasis on a more jazzy/experimental perspective. the interwinding soundscapes created by the melodic guitars are barely present at all. the changes are not for better, or for worse, but simply changes. this is a wonderful album,but almost by a completely different band. if tristeza has been a past favorite, i HIGHLY recomend this album. if your just getting into tristeza, start with older albums and work your way up.

An experimental short-length that plays more like a handful of ideas then individual songs, this hypnotic instrumental quintet can be seen applying but not accomplishing many immersive qualities fans would come to expect. Only when reaching the ep's 5th track are we reminded of the band's effectively minimal beauty, whereas most other tracks feel underdeveloped or just plain underwhelming. Even at their simplistic worst though Tristeza always let their compositions breathe enough to satisfy post-rock enthusiasts, without being experimental or pretentious enough to alienate people unfamiliar with these relatively rigid genre guidelines. Having said that, Espuma is still only something fans should own, their are not enough solid tracks on the disc to warrant a purchase from anyone else.

El disco y el grupo son una maravilla... Pero los repartidores de Amazon, no. El embalaje de cartón venía con picotazos... esperaba que no hubiera afectado a la carátula de disco, pero si. Estaba un poco arañada
