Sneaker Waves abounds in toothsome melodies and glistening layers of guitar and synth. Her voice is a willowy instrument, and she uses it confidingly, the demureness of her vocal attack beckoning listeners into intimate range. But it's not softness that she's delivering; she bears quietly lacerating witness to vulnerability.” – NPR Music First Listen

“The Nashville-based musician makes her own pure pop music out of carefully constructed layers and lyrics that are oh so intricately knotted together. Her third album, Sneaker Waves... it's filled with exceptional melodies and beguiling stories.” - ELLE

"Nashville singer-songwriter Tristen is ready to put her killer vocals on the map with a new psychdelia-tinged single and music video for “Glass Jar.” - Stereogum

“Some artists are interested in being complicated,” says Tristen. “They’re speaking another language to the connoisseur of the art. I have no interest in that. I want to be inclusive. I’ve always been interested in the purest form of the idea, so that it can communicate.”

That theme is at the core of Tristen’s third record, Sneaker Waves — a record that is smart but accessible, meticulously constructed but undeniably infectious. Out now via Modern Outsider, Sneaker Waves takes its name from a natural phenomenon — the sneaker wave, an unanticipated and powerful coastal wave — and serves as a metaphor for death. “All the good poetry is about death,” says Tristen. “Death, like a sneaker wave, can come at any moment. And so the truest currency for a human becomes time.”
