Déjà signataires d’un excellent Headache (2016), les Polonais de Trupa Trupa remettent le couvert avec ce Jolly new songs qui, s’il apparaît dans un premier temps apaisé, n’en réserve pas moins certains moments de tension palpable, comme sur ce Falling vénéneux et d’obédience noisy ou encore, de manière plus insidieuse, avec Mist.
Let’s not get fussy or sniffy about this, but I’m suspecting Trupa Trupa’s second full length, the impishly titled ‘jolly new songs’, due for release near the end of the month via blue tapes and x-ray / Ici d’ailleurs records, might if we bother to do one, find itself in the end of year best of listings.
Gideon Coe from BBC Radio 6 Music is really into “Falling”.
L’an passé, nous avions craqué pour cette formation de Dantzig – au passage, un petit clin d’oeil au regretté Holger Czukay qui y est né.
Joie, bonheur! Responsables d’une sévère claque l’an dernier avec l’album Headache, les petits gars de Gdansk sont déjà de retour.
The latest album from Gdańsk avant-rockers Trupa Trupa is another step forward.
Gideon Coe premiered Falling, a song from the forthcoming Jolly New Songs record yesterday on BBC Radio 6 Music.

Tiny pieces of precious metals sifting through dirty water in sand.
Go ahead and name me another band you know from the port Polish town of Gdansk. You can’t? That’s what I thought.
You know when it’s just been raining very heavily and suddenly the clouds break and the sun shines through?
Something I really enjoy about music is challenging myself with what I listen to when I click play. This is complete deflated when I hear someone singing.
Jolly New Songs
Pre-order CD | 2xLP | DL
Nothing hurts harder than a surprise ending, and the title track of this album has a real face-slap of one. One minute you’re in bliss, carried away in a crescendo of spine-tingling post-rock guitars and soft, wordless oohs, the next you’re through – the song’s out the door, down the street, pulling away from the kerb and into a new life.
Y avait-il vraiment effet de surprise quant à la découverte soudaine d’un groupe polonais capable de prendre d’entrée de jeu une place fort honorable sur la scène indé internationale ? Pas vraiment dans un sens, chacun étant capable d’envisager que l’accès rapide et mondialisé à tous types de sons soit désormais ouvert au moindre groupe de province d’un pays dit « de l’est ».
While sometimes hearing rock and roll played from a non-English as first language country can be alarmingly bad or cartoonish, sometimes you hear the most interesting stuff imaginable.
One of my favorite bands out of Europe these days is Trupa Trupa out of Gdansk, Poland.
Trupa Trupa is a psychedelic no wave band from Gdansk, Poland. Their stylistic approach recalls work by bands like Shellac, Swans, Slint and Beak>. There is such discordance, tension and intensity in their compositions that it feels like the band is genuinely inclined to deconstruct the traditional rock format.

Trupa Trupa right now on BBC Radio 6 Music! “To Me” is the “Headphone Moment” on the Morning Show. The Beeb described it as “Epic beyond words!”
