Tristesse Contemporaine tristesse contemporaine Paris TRISTESSE CONTEMPORAINE : Leo Hellden, Narumi Herisson and Maik. It’s always been about the bass. We will always have that fantastic feeling inside us of hearing that bass getting louder and louder as we are carried closer and closer to the heart of our favourite dance floor. We will always have in our minds that bass line of that rock song that will stay with us for all our lives, Peter Hook, Simon Gallup, Mani...You name it. Tristesse Contemporaine is glued together by three adopted Parisians, a Japanese girl and two guys, one British, one Swedish. Raw, desperate and hypnotic energy engulfed by memories of Shoegazer and Krautrock. The trio flirt in the shadows of Suicide with catchy melodies and synth-pop, held together by that androgynous voice, suspended on the razor's edge of that beautiful vintage bass. Romantic and flamboyant, arrogant and haunting, their first album imagines a world in chiaroscuro, where the electrical illuminations of shoegazing merge with electronic beats, with a heightened new wave sensitivity. Climb to the dark side of modern pop as you enter the fractured, hypnotic, dance of Tristesse Contemporaine. Produced by Pilooski, 1st album released 12 March 2012.
