I personally don't understand (though it is a current and ongoing trend of the This album, their 6th LP, was released with all tracks alternatively I feel, too, that this releaseįeatures less discernably 'Math Rock' elements. The vocals feel a tad moreĬollected (slightly less J-Pop?), noticeably different in style from their earlier records. Tricot's newest entry, as it comes as no surprise to me, is mostly Poppy Guitar-Rock. Besides drummer Yuusuke, the band members consist of Ikumi "Ikkyu" NAKAJIMA on vocals and guitar, Motoko "Motifour" KIDA on guitar and backing vocals, and Hiromi "Hirohiro" SAGANE on bass guitar. Singing in their native language, they can match difficult time-signatures with harmonized pop vocal melodies. TRICOT's music is an intriguing blend of complex and unusual time signatures, jazz workouts, strong pop melodies, an aggressive tone and a post-punk sense of style. 2017 also saw the release of the full-length album "3", which was released internationally under Topshelf Records. By 2017, it was finally established that Yuusuke YOSHIDA would be their full-time drummer, after having performed during numerous live tours with the band. 2015 also saw the release of TRICOT's second album, "A N D", which featured a rotating lineup of drummers. They also began receiving international notice, and by 2015 the band would be touring Europe with a session drummer since Kazutaka KOMAKI had left the band due to creative differences in 2014. 2013 turned out to be an important year for the band as they released their first full-length album, "T H E" to critical acclaim and a respectful ranking of 18th in Japan's Oricon charts, selling better than expected. In 2012 they released two more Eps on their label, "Shōgakusei to Uchū" and "Bakyūn EP". With a DIY mindset, in 2011 the group formed their own label, Bakuretsu Records, and released their first EP, "Bakuretsu Tricot-san" during the same year. Based out of Kyoto, Japan, the currently all-female math rock act TRICOT was formed in September of 2010. ![]()
