Si chiamano Trupa Trupa vengono dalla Polonia e hanno appena pubblicato Headache. Il disco conta undici brani cantati in inglese e musicati sulla scorta di un rock psichedelico che ricorda i Beatles più acidi e i Radiohead più avversi al mainstream.
Trupa Trupa is to perform a gig on 9 May at Off Plus Camera festival.
Wherever you are in the world: good morning, good afternoon, good evening, good night. It is time for your 5 a day. One day, the UK government said, “You should eat 5 portions of fruit or veg[etables] per day.” Turns out you should probably eat more than that.
Het is tegenwoordig salonfähig om met een diepe frons en enig aplomb te poneren dat “gitaarmuziek” op zijn retour is. Alles is al gedaan, iets origineels brengen is onmogelijk. Pientere recyclage is de enige oplossing, de post-ironische knipoog als hoogst mogelijke vorm van creativiteit.
Trupa Trupa’s shoegaze tendencies and the charming yet delightfully menacing vocals from Grzegorz Kwiatkowski has payed respect to rock culture while successfully carving their own place in it all. Trupa Trupa has been making waves around Poland, central, and eastern Europe for the past few years now and March 7th we will see their third release. We’re delighted to premiere the track ‘Sacrifice’ ahead of the release of ‘Headache’.
Trupa Trupa is sinds 2009 een geweldige Poolse groep uit Gdańsk, die een ontmoetingsplek is van hun invloeden, die uiteenloopt van 60-er jaren psychedelica, krautrock, symfonische rock en folk tot cold wave, garagerock en noise. Naast een epee hebben ze nu al twee albums uitgebracht, waarvan de laatste ++ (2014) hun voorlopige hoogtepunt vormt.
Today is the Headache premiere. The album is ereleased by Blue Tapes and X-Ray Records. The cassette tape release is scheduled for 18 April.
Sharp as a migraine and twice as psychedelic. There is something about Trupa Trupa’s music that borders on an interface with pain – sometimes the vocals and guitar are all treble and daggers, for instance – but then there’s that anaesthetic cushion of organ and the rolling sighs of the rhythms and melodies. Trupa Trupa’s music teeters between a yawn and a shriek. It sways but does not stumble. There is something almost threatening about the way it affects to lose control at moments when you know full well that it never under any less but the most precise and steely control of its creators.

キーボードを含む編成の4ピース・バンドTrupa Trupaを聴いて、彼らの母国ポーランドの長きに渡る苦難の歴史を想起した。ホロコーストを例に挙げるまでもなく戦争と国家存亡の危機の繰り返し。淡々と耐え忍ぶようなヴァースから一転エモーショナルなコーラス、時折聴かせる劇的な展開といった曲調にそれは反映されているのかもしれない。一聴、それはニルヴァーナを始めとするグランジ・ロックからの影響のようにも聞こえる。
Now, this LP from Gdansk’s Trupa Trupa is good. Really good. Headache sounds like lots of things past and present; a sludgy growling rock sound that trundles around the outer wall of your consciousness, looking for the way in.
