tricot

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.

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

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

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.

That was quite nice, I liked the basslines

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

all ilm threads really do wind up at steely dan

aw yeah

http://www.npr.org/sections/allsongs/2017/04/20/524709819/tricots-melon-soda-is-a-math-rock-sugar-rush

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.

ya never rly considered tricot math

they have mathy moments but go back to almost standard rock/j-rock

always dug lite if we're talking j math rock

Yeah, Lite are good. I also recommend Nuito and Marmalade Butcher for anyone into that stuff

album is on spotify rn

it's great

XP - If anybody fancies a crash course in J Math stuff then you could do worse than check out this free compilation - https://feckingbahamas.bandcamp.com/album/i-japan

I really like "melon soda" and the "how to play" videos they posted for that one. Looking forward to digging into the LP

Nice one MaresNest, looks interesting

fb do good work

they have a map of mathy bands on their site if anyone wants an intro

http://feckingbahamas.com/world-math

some not 100% math but it's a decent intro

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

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!
