"TEARIST is an American electronic/ industrial duo from Los Angeles consisting of Yasmine Kittles (vocals / percussion) and William Stangeland Menchaca (synthesizers / programming). Their self-titled debut album sold out within months and their live follow-up record, Living: 2009-Present, received high acclaim due to the riskiness and unconventionality of a live album being released as a debut full length."@en .
