Empress Of’s “Tristeza” features Lorely Rodriguez singing of honey, shadows, and full moons over a dreamy, delicate– and yes, melancholy– background of shining, sparkling sounds. The title of the Spanish language track translates to “sorrow” or “sadness,” so it’s fitting that these light, pretty melodies are also quite haunting in quality. “Tristeza” is taken from Empress Of’s Systems EP.
