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.

Yes. I want to say that it's as good as the first but I'll wait a bit.
― abcfsk, Wednesday, 18 March 2015 21:17 (eleven years ago)
i think "qff" is their best ever song for sure

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 (eleven years ago)
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 (ten years ago)
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 (ten years ago)
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.

― but also fuck you (unperson), Tuesday, 11 February 2020 16:31 (six years ago)
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.
― abcfsk, Tuesday, 11 February 2020 20:36 (six years ago)
i play this album multiple times a day
― american bradass (BradNelson), Thursday, 13 February 2020 00:22 (six years ago)
I love this record.
― TikTok to the (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Thursday, 13 February 2020 01:07 (six years ago)
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 (six years ago)
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.)
― but also fuck you (unperson), Thursday, 13 February 2020 01:42 (six years ago)
love this album - I think it might be their best
― Roz, Thursday, 28 May 2020 13:13 (six years ago)
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
― Boris the Spreader (NickB), Thursday, 28 May 2020 14:09 (six years ago)
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.

― mellon collie and the infinite bradness (BradNelson), Wednesday, 21 October 2020 20:52 (five years ago)
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 (five years ago)
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 (five years ago)
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 (five years ago)
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.
