This one managed to slip by us last weekend (shout out to Nylon for the premiere), but Nashville’s Tristen has premiered a new music video for “Catalyst.” The track is one of our faves from the singer’s amazing new album, C A V E S, which we’ve been raving about for months, and even named one of the Best…
