If you’ve seen superlative songsmith Tristen in recent years, especially the shows she’s played following the release of her 2017 LP Sneaker Waves, you’ll probably have heard her hard-charging psych-rock rendition of Edgar Allan Poe’s “Dream Within a Dream” closing out the set. Around the time she published her poetry collection Saturnine, she even made a live-in-studio music video for her version with liquid light show visual effects.

Soon, a studio recording of that arrangement will be available on the A side of a 7-inch, with an original tune called “Red Lava” on the flip. It’ll be her first new release since the “Crying on Christmas Day” single in 2017. The record will be released May 10, and you can preorder a copy direct from Louisville independent label This Man Records or via Bandcamp (or check with your favorite record store).

Tristen will also be playing her first run of shows this year around the record’s release in May, with a Nashville stop at Grimey's on Friday, May 17. Keep an eye on her website for updates.
