Tristan Armstrong’s new single “The Lonely Avenue” is a cathartic blend of rock, indie, and roots traditions out now via Littleknown Records. It channels raucous rhythms, gritty guitars, and lush mellotron strings to capture the bittersweet pull of urban energy and a longing for home.
Inspired by the likes of Queens of the Stone Age, Wilco, The Tragically Hip and vintage rock, it’s a dynamic anthem for chasing dreams and finding release in music.
During the pandemic, Armstrong embarked on the creation of The Lonely Avenue, his debut solo album, serving as both a creative outlet and a testament to his evolving sound. Today’s lead single from this upcoming full length album due out early 2025, produced by Tristan Armstrong and mixed by Carlin Nicholson (Zeus) at Pineship Sound in Toronto, ON.
Tristan Armstrong has been writing and performing music in Toronto for over a decade, establishing himself as a skilled composer and lyricist finding beauty in the quotidian struggles of urban life. He is a founding member of Canadian roots-rock band The Actual Goners, and has previously released music under the name Stars Algonquin. His music combines a sense of earnest romanticism and poignant introspection, with a guitar-centric aesthetic.
