saturated solace, by Tremosphere 10 track album

#BandcampFriday

Four albums, an anti-genocide single, a few covers (Depeche Mode, The Velvet Underground, Joy Division, The Kinks), Tremosphere aims to break cycles and find a better way through the mud that life is.

saturated solace, by Tremosphere 10 track album

Since I genuinely loved last years @tremosphere.com album below, I wanted to go through their entire discography. And since it's no fun to do this alone, I asked @sylviasolanas.com to talk them through with me. Luckily she agreed!

So here we go: every Tremosphere song in order of release!

Present Silence, by Tremosphere (c/p 2019 Slugg Records) from the album Interiors

Alright, that was quick!
The next song from "interiors" is "Present Silence".
This one uses layers from Michaels guitar, the sounds of a bird singing and @sylviasolanas.com spoken word.
Is that another poem of yours that got turned into a song, Sylvia?

The cover of the album "interiors" by @tremosphere.com . It shows a close-up photo of two peoples hands holding each other. One has dark nailpolish on their thumb, the other it taped and patched with an infusion access in the back of their hand.
