Tryphème

Ethereal voices float over synth bursts, reverberating guitars, and kaleidoscopic rhythms in Tryphème’s sonic cosmos. With Slowride, the first album from her eponymous label, the French artist embarks on an introspective and unique journey, blending trip-hop, dub, electronica, 80s wave, and 70s folk.

Since her debut on the British label CPU Records in 2017, Tryphème has been crafting unclassifiable music. Here, her voice gains strength and clarity, moving away from the romantic clichés of trip-hop to express her personal struggles with gentleness and firmness: artistic precariousness, the weight of norms, the quest for independence.

The album’s equine imagery, inspired by his aborted career as a jockey, serves as a thread running through his metaphorical and sensitive writing. A strange ballad, between control and letting go, where bass riffs rise to the rhythm of a production that is as precise as it is moving.
