black and white picture of a cis white woman - Sylvia, leaning against an old fireplace. Her right arm is up, her hand slightly resting over her head. Her hair is long and straight, we can see armpit hair as well. Her face is slightly turned, she's looking at us, defiant, confident. She's wearing a black bustier. Photograph is framed by two large baby blue lines. Name of the band, Tremosphere, is on the upper blue part. Title of the album, Becoming Creatures, is written in the same baby blue, and is sitting in the left inner corner of the photograph.

Tremosphere’s cover artwork for All I Want Is You, a song originally by U2. We see the back of a white woman, she’s standing by a white and shades of yellow wall. She’s wearing a black laced dress, with an opening in the middle of her back, showing her bare skin. She’s holding her hair up. Photo and artwork by Sylvia Solanas (2023).

Dreamy, minimalistic cover of U2’s “All I Want Is You.”

Featuring their signature delay and reverb-drenched guitars and Ms Solanas’s sultry vocals, the track also marks the first recording where she sings in both English and French.
As with her spoken word work with Tremosphere’s sister band, Bipolar Explorer, Ms Solanas herself composed the translation.

This track had its broadcast premiere on WFMU‘s “Dark Night of the Soul” on May 30, 2023. On behalf of the band, a huge thanks to Julie, the show’s host.

“simply gorgeous” – Jeffrey Davison, WFMU
“a lovely debut” – Carol Crow, WFMU

“Tremosphere is Sylvia Solanas and Michael Serafin-Wells, who are also in Bipolar Explorer. The New York, New York duo craft slow-measured compositions – full of tension, rising and falling – with Solanas’s vocals constant throughout. This is headphones music. For contemplation and inspiration. Turn up the volume and bathe in the tones.”
–Bret Miller, Eardrum Buzz Radio, Los Angeles.

INTERIORS is the debut album of Tremosphere, with Bipolar Explorer co-founder Michael Serafin-Wells (guitars, bass, organ, synth, tape loops, backing vocals, spoken word, percussion) and introducing Sylvia Solanas (lead vocals, spoken word).

Featuring Serafin-Wells’s signature post-rock, shoegaze-y guitars and Ms. Solanas’s breathy alto vocals, their sound is a kind of NYC dreampop seasoned with a dash of French wanderlust.
