Missed it. ;_;

Do these five drummers cancel each other out then? :-)

Get a Don Caballero vibe from the initial post.

They took turns to play a song then all five did a bit of a drum circle thing in the middle of one track.

Missed it. ;_;

I'm hoping and waiting for someone to upload the video - meanwhile here's the audio recording https://tricot-jp.bandcamp.com/album/a-n-d-pre-release-studio-live-session

It's out!

Spotify https://open.spotify.com/album/5A4nSOZ4o5VGeshIZbKVT1
Itunes https://itunes.apple.com/us/album/a-n-d/id971675838

Go go

i love this album

(surprise)

Yes. I want to say that it's as good as the first but I'll wait a bit.

i think "qff" is their best ever song for sure

this is neat, whatever gets 90s math shit on ppl's radar that's cool

I'm really digging this album. Suppose I need to go and get their other stuff, eh?

Actually, I prefer their older stuff.

If I had to rank their releases:

1. 小学生と宇宙 (School Children and The Cosmo)
2. 爆裂パニエさん (Bakuretsu Tricot-san)
3. T H E
4. A N D
5. バキューン ("Bakyuun")

A N D is still pretty cool, though

Typo up there, sorry.

2 is 爆裂トリコさん if you're trying to find it online

Xp Yes. This new album, good as it is, is not the absolute revelation and aotd candidate that was 'THE', a class of its own.

what is aotd? day? decade?

the latter

My brother just linked a video of theirs on Facebook and HOLY SHIT

That 5 drummers video is great.

oh when i saw them at cake shop they played for 30 minutes and i feel like they almost tore the place apart

uh omg

Here's the Music Japan episode with tricot performing http://www.miomio.tv/watch/cc252541/

It's quite bizarre seeing them with Morning Musume and Sexy Zone, E-Girls and Perfume. Credit goes to the producers I guess - as far as I know tricot is still only signed to their self-made indie label.

I really loved THE, but AND has a dense surface of hyperkinetic chops that I just bounce off. Maybe they have ascended to the stratosphere and my ageing brain is left behind, although I listen to a lot of Autechre and feel it's quite straightforward.

Maybe it's because I heard it first but I prefer A N D over T H E and the rest of the stuff I've heard, even though everyone tells me they're better. So many hooks.

that tricot x disney thing

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8ILRHE-GRyY

this is such an odd mix of modern pop and like "signed to thrill jockey in 97" vibes

So good live! So glad I managed to make it out for them.

I'm really regretting not hearing A N D before making up my albums ballot from this year. It's really great.

Had every intention of seeing them but someone must've turned up the gravity on my sofa.

Great new single, EP out in a few

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EFtbqm1EGRI

The climax brings everything together, serves some emotions

Bump for a great song

<3 it, but i don't think it's going to supplant oyasumi from playing endlessly in my head

oh i totally missed this ep. it rules

it really do. those first 2 tracks have to be the most inspiring seven minutes of 2016

also think the last track is my new fav tricot song

i just really really like the ones where it's like they thought steely dan was the ultimate black belt in karate

new album "3" out on may 19

*patiently sits in one place until may 19*

Hope it's better than singles/EPs they put out after AND, I thought they were a but formulaic. I'm probably still apparently the only person to prefer AND to THE though so I might just have wrong opinions on this band

Looking forward to it, hoping for a European tour.

In the meantime Tricot-influenced Hong Kong group GDJYB just put out a very good album.

I love this record.

I really liked their Fender-y light sound on the early stuff - the newer material is thicker and I can't lose myself in the interplay as much. I reckon it will improve once I've listened more, but unlike their previous albums this one's not on Bandcamp so I can't buy it very easily.

Yeah, it's ironic that signing to a bigger label has likely improved their status in Japan, but handicapped them w/r/t growing their US audience. (The new record is on US Spotify, though.)

love this album - I think it might be their best

Haven't really kept up with them but have been getting a vague whiff of RHCP from the new one which is kind of interfering with my pleasure receptors

late pass here but this is currently blowing my mind. agree with nickb in that the bass player reminds me a lot of flea. but that's a plus, imo.

another new album out 10/21

Really enjoying the new one at first pass.

the rap on track three changed my life

how are they so good????? this is maybe their most outré record but it all really works

The rap is great. My favourite moment on second listen is that piercing yet menacing riff on the final track.

their best album

the best band on earth

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3Yl_KNJGWN4

one of the many unreal songs on this record

also omfg that music video

The two Tricot albums are my two favourites of this year so far. I have a theory that most bands peak with their 4th and 5th albums.

holy shit what a great song, recaptures the buzz I got from T H E. Is Yoshida a new drummer? I thought they'd been using machines and session players on recent stuff.

best band on earth

if taylor swift hadn't also done it i'd be like "wow it's incredible this band released their two best albums in one year"

I need to listen to this one again. I only gave it one chance and it didn't hit me the way the one from January/February did, so I moved on to other things.

I would take the two Tricot albums over the two Swift albums as my favourite pair of albums of the year, but maybe that's because Evermore hasn't clicked for me yet.

Vote in the poll!

new song "Bakuro" that came out a couple of weeks ago is great

happy new tricot album day https://open.spotify.com/album/1nUwhyn08TSd7Ibg6EWPmv?si=AbYsnTANSaeMyzOeOzOj4g

fuck yeah

two tracks in and they did it again!!!

happy new tricot album day, '22 style (a few days late)

From math rock to reality TV. Ikkyu, the singer, has appeared on some kind of celebrity dating show looking for a husband... and found a potential one in a comedian called Ichikawa Sashimi!
