She has just released the full-length’s first video single, “Hang Tough.” Watch it below.

“I had to make this record on my own—not to prove anything, but just to have faith that music can nurture me back. And it did.” – Paz Lenchantin

Triste is a 12-track album that blends both Latin folk textures with American rock structures that features Paz on piano, adding her signature string arrangements around the rock band roots she came from. Paz performed all of the instruments before enlisting some of her favorite Los Angeles based musicians, reuniting her with former A Perfect Circle bandmates Josh Freese (drums), Troy Van Leeuwen (guitar), and also long-time friend Jeffertiti on the album’s lead single “Hang Tough.”

The album began forming in Petatlán, Mexico, where Paz spent most of 2024 on her own writing songs about faith, doubt, and self-discovery, mirroring her own experiences post-Pixies. Mixed by Chris Coady (Beach House, Yeah Yeah Yeahs), Triste delivers a fiercely personal and expansive statement that stamps the first chapter in her solo career.
