from a small attic in east tennessee, tristan swank has been writing in a way that's described as "hauntingly personal," that's almost impossible to ignore. using sounds and influences he grew up around in unique ways, he's made a fusion of folk, indie, and alternative music to create a sound that sounds like home. his newest release, "old photos", covers the struggle of heartbreak, balancing regret, nostalgia, and hopefulness.
