Tijuana/British Columbia/Oakland/Michigan San Diego post rockers Tristeza are back with a new album, and on Fate Unfolds, everything happens for a reason. Everything, meaning funk, jazz, flamenco, tropicalia, raga, krautrock, psyche, and punk.

It’s been about three years since En Nuestro Desafio, so Fate Unfolds is a welcome return. For a sample of the new album, check out this MP3 of “Manitas“.

Speaking of returns, the band will play their first San Diego show in a while on December 12 at the Casbah. Tour dates are after the jump.
