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!

13. Tremosphere: Saturated Solace
Bipolar Explorer's sister band, Tremosphere are one of the finest shoegaze acts out there and this might be my favorite of their recent releases. Let it wash over you.

Our fourth album, with which I tried not to sink

saturated solace

On a black background, we see the picture of a woman, twice. She's a cis white woman, in the dark, naked, her long brunette straight hair falling on her breasts. No make up. The first iteration of the picture has a pink filter, the second a dark lavender one. Band name and album title are written in that same dark lavender tone.

Everything feels chaotic, everything feels like it's all falling apart, and I've surprised myself by making this album. I really thought I had nothing left in me to say, to do. I seem to go through these feelings after each album is completed, but this time I really believed it. Until out of the blue, early Spring 2024, I wrote a lot of these songs. We had released in the weeks prior "Avert Your Eyes", as a single-only, written as an intention. The new album is a need.
This is saturated solace. Like an alt of myself. This is what I feel. I don't want to have to find more resilience, again and again. I want the sufferings to end. I hope we get there.
"Along the Way"
' track o7, is
dedicated to the trans community and trans kids especially.
