Our Take

Tricot's latest album, "A N D," is a whirlwind of math rock wizardry and J-pop sensibilities that will leave you scratching your head in the best possible way. The Japanese trio effortlessly blends complex time signatures with infectious melodies, creating a sound that is uniquely their own.

From the opening track "Tokyo Vampire Hotel," with its frenetic energy and cascading guitar riffs, to the dreamy shoegaze of "On the Boom," Tricot takes listeners on a journey through a sonic landscape that is equal parts chaotic and serene. The band's impeccable musicianship shines through on every track, with each member displaying a level of skill that is truly awe-inspiring.

Lead vocalist Ikumi Nakajima's ethereal vocals soar over the intricate instrumentation, adding an extra layer of depth to the already rich tapestry of sound. The lyrics, sung in both Japanese and English, touch on themes of love, loss, and existential dread, creating a sense of intimacy that draws the listener in.

Overall, "A N D" is a triumph of experimental rock that pushes boundaries and challenges conventions. Tricot has once again proven themselves to be a force to be reckoned with in the music world, and this album is sure to solidify their place as one of the most exciting bands in the scene. Don't sleep on this one – Tricot is here to stay.

About the artist

Tricot

Tricot are a powerhouse trio from Japan, blending intricate math rock riffs with sugar-sweet melodies to create a sound that is as unpredictable as it is infectious. The band's name, derived from the French word for "knitting," is a perfect metaphor for their musical style - each song is woven together with precision and skill, creating a sonic tapestry that is both complex and beautiful. Formed in Kyoto in 2010, Tricot quickly gained a devoted following in their native Japan before making waves internationally with their 2013 debut album "T H E". Since then, they have released a string of critically acclaimed albums, earning praise for their fearless experimentation and genre-defying sound. Tricot's live shows are a sight to behold, with frontwoman Ikumi Nakajima's frenetic guitar playing and powerhouse vocals commanding the stage. Drummer and founding member Motoko Kida provides the backbone of the band's sound with her precision drumming, while bassist Hiromi Sagane adds depth and groove to the mix. With influences ranging from emo and punk to jazz and pop, Tricot defy easy categorization, drawing listeners in with their catchy hooks and keeping them hooked with their complex arrangements and technical prowess. Whether you're a seasoned math rock aficionado or a casual music fan looking for something new and exciting, Tricot are a band that demands to be listened to. So grab your headphones, press play, and prepare to be blown away by the sonic tapestry that is Tricot.
