Die polnische Band findet die Balance zwischen wärmenden Pop-Melodien und der Schärfe des Post-Punk.
Com quatro álbuns em seis anos, os polacos Trupa Trupa têm-se afirmado como um dos mais estimulantes e sólidos colectivos de rock, aliando um som muito próprio a uma constante, mas serena, cavalgada por entre psicadelia e electricidade quase anarquista.
Ahead of their fourth LP Jolly New Songs, the Trupa Trupa have uploaded a new album trailer by bass player Wojciech Juchniewicz.
Navkljub v nebo vpijoči „krizi glasbene industrije“, je glasbe vedno več. Lažje kot kdaj koli prej jo je ustvarjati in širiti, nekaj težje jo je pripeljati do „pravih“ ušes. Če se poslušalec ne želi izgubljati v neskončnem bazenu možnosti, skoraj potrebuje neke vrste filtra. Kanale, preko katerih doseže potencialno zanimivo glasbo. En teh kanalov so še vedno glasbene založbe.
To ingest Trupa Trupa’s Jolly New Songs is to wonder what kind of mushrooms are growing outside behind the band’s practice space in Gdansk. The drugs are working, just not quite how you would expected them to.
Trupa Trupa’s macabre poetic outlook has much in common with contemporary exponents of psychogeography, such as one Iain Sinclair, whose wanderings around London’s orbital networks elicit a meandering prose that seeks to uncover concealed essences of the city.
Trupa Trupa, a rock band from Gdansk, are a strange bunch. And they’ve made a strange, brilliant record. The oddness they project isn’t anything obtuse or difficult or academic, or (you suspect) planned. In the main you can sing along to these “jolly” songs, as Jolly New Songs is a record packed with phrases and licks that become earworms, passages that create vivid and empathetic dream scenarios, and spruce blasts of noise that give a real sense of energy.
Trupa Trupa croit savoir qu’un artiste, c’est quelqu’un de torturé. En tout cas, c’est ce qui ressort de ces Jolly New Songs, à l’aide d’une rythmique toujours sur la brèche, prête à bondir… vers un gouffre de mélancolie.
As Gdańsk, Poland-based band, Trupa Trupa, gear up to release their third record, Jolly New Songs, on Friday, October 27th, there’s a tangible sense of excitement for audiophiles and poetry-lovers alike.
Trailer albumu Jolly New Songs.
Rumpelnder Bass, Kennzeichen für Postpunk-infizierte Sounds, die aber im Falle dieser Band aus Gdansk meist mit psychedelischer Note versehen sind.
Coffin is the second single from Gdansk based Trupa Trupa’s upcoming fourth album Jolly New Songs.
Sortie après sortie, l’itinéraire de Trupa Trupa s’apparente à un conte de fée pop et contemporain. Il y a deux ans de cela, Trupa Trupa était inconnu au bataillon, cantonné à sa ville de Gdansk (Pologne).
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.
