I'm really digging this album. Suppose I need to go and get their other stuff, eh?
― ultros ultros-ghali, Thursday, 9 April 2015 19:28 (eight years ago) link
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 E4. A N D5. バキューン ("Bakyuun")
A N D is still pretty cool, though

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.

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.
― abcfsk, Monday, 14 December 2015 05:58 (eight years ago) link
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.
― MatthewK, Monday, 14 December 2015 06:22 (eight years ago) link
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.

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
― ultros ultros-ghali, Thursday, 9 February 2017 14:28 (seven years ago) link
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 haven't really been blown away by any of the new stuff I've heard off this; I will still probably get it and enjoy it well enough though. And to be genre pedant for a minute I really don't think the math-rock tag has ever really applied, especially not now they're essentially a decent pop-rock band with the occasional time signature change.

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.

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.
― aphoristical, Sunday, 25 October 2020 20:30 (three years ago) link
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.

― mellon collie and the infinite bradness (BradNelson), Thursday, 24 December 2020 16:38 (three years ago) link
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.
― but also fuck you (unperson), Thursday, 24 December 2020 19:10 (three years ago) link
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.
