Tristan Rene

Daily Discovery brings you the latest dose of new music carefully handpicked from the vast array of talented artists we have at our disposal. These stand-out artists deserve a spot on your favourite playlist, or even better, you might just see them on one of our stages soon.

Today’s Daily Discovery is “WHEN YOU WERE THERE” by TRISTAN RENE.

Tristan Rene is a sonic whisperer. A conjurer of ethereal melodies grasped from the collective consciousness, brought forth in a singular voice that’s at once reverent and deeply resonant.

It’s the voice of world, channeled through Rene’s vast origins. Born in Montana to a Jewish West Indian mother and a Mallorcan father, he was raised in Washington D.C. before making his way to Montreal, drawn to the city’s poetic energy and gothic aesthetic.

With innate talent channeled through a fervent appreciation of art rock and psychedelic combos, Rene delivers his own brand of indie-folk psychedelia, anchored by his unmistakable vocal approach.

The results are an unmistakable musical realness.
