Tren - Tears of Things, Sorrows of the Universe

Tren showcases a post-rave style of club music that originally developed in response to modern EDM, emphasising a rejection of commercialisation. Labels like Giegling focus on music over celebrity, fostering slow builds instead of mainstream drops. Tren's album, "Tears of Things, Sorrows of the Universe," embraces the open-air dreamscape by exploring themes of escapism, euphoria and surrender.

The album features emotionally charged tracks that combine the hypnotic rhythms of ticking clocks and ambient, lush, spaced-out soundscapes. Tracks like 'Lumen' and 'Stor' combine danceability with atmospheric elements, maintaining a pulse without becoming overwhelming. 'Aether' offers an intimate ambient techno sound, while vocal chops in 'Remembrance' and 'Birth of Hermes' add something new to Trens' palette. The track 'Into the Abyss' contrasts with its more overt rejection of the commercial, focusing on substance and creating a dream-like quality reminiscent of minimal and trance influences.
