Archive material and source history

Avec Tristesse formed in 1993 as a duo with vocalist Deirdre Skirrow and multi-instrumentalist Brian Lunn. Their music drew from goth rock and trip-hop, with influences like The Cure and Cocteau Twins mentioned in early descriptions. They released their first album 'With Sadness' the following year.

In 2005, their album 'Sanctuary' included the song 'Angel After Dark,' which became one of their most recognized tracks. The album's dark imagery led to some accusations about its themes, which the band addressed by saying they were exploring human psychology rather than anything supernatural. Other songs like 'Choices' and 'In Vain I Cry' appear in their catalog from this period.

Skirrow's experience with bipolar disorder, diagnosed in 1998, informed some of her lyrical approach. The band continued releasing albums like 'The Flower Below' in 2007 and 'Winterwake' in 2011, maintaining their atmospheric sound through lineup changes and shifting musical trends in the darkwave scene.
