Tristixia is the solo project of Sotirios Koukoulas, also known for his work with the darkwave act Kama Muta. With Sea of Trees, a track first recorded back in 2021, Tristixia finally brings this vibrant piece to light, allowing it to settle into its own quiet sense of peace.
The song draws inspiration from the enigmatic Aokigahara forest in Japan, often called the 'Sea of Trees,' a place steeped in mystery. Rather than leaning completely into darkness, the track takes a more introspective and dreamy route. It showcases a jangly, dreampop-infused side of Tristixia’s sound, swarming with moody textures and shimmering guitar work.
There’s something quietly comforting about the way the song unfolds. Its instrumental layers feel poetic and approachable, offering a kind of emotional resonance that’s gentle and stirring. The solace it offers in its melodic haze is enough to convince.
