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.

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 (nine 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

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.

First half is great, but it got a bit too Math in the second half and lost me. (Rock isn’t generally my thing though. I was coming at this as a J Pop fan and knew nothing about the band hitherto.)

Can't wait to dig into this. Post THE I felt they struggled to reach those old heights but the singles for this album have been super promising and made me a born again fan.

― TikTok to the (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Thursday, 13 February 2020 01:07 (four years ago) link
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.
― an incoherent crustacean (MatthewK), Thursday, 13 February 2020 01:18 (four years ago) link
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.)

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.

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.
