Another really great review of our gig in London – CENTRAL AND EASTERN EUROPEAN LONDON REVIEW

2016-08-20

An 11 pm slot on a Monday night isn’t the most opportune time to be making your U.K. debut. The audience had drifted away about half an hour earlier as the third of three synth-based acts neared the end of his set. Someone said it looked like Trupa Trupa had been landed with ‘the graveyard slot’, but then it all changed. The audience swelled to around a hundred as the four-piece Polish band took to the small, low level stage.

Great review of our gig in London – Fluir Radio

2016-08-15

Blue Tapes and X-Ray Records describe themselves as purveyors of ‘secular drones and spiritual pop’. Wild Anima, the opening act at Cafe Oto on the label’s first London showcase, describes herself on SoundCloud as a ‘bird pop’ act, and though her accompanying performer waves feathers around with a New Age mysticism for the last of her three songs, her eerie soundscapes with euro pop melodic sensibilities typify the breadths of the label’s coterie musically.

Headache review – PoloniCult

Un disco all’attivo, Headache, e un riconoscimento già internazionale per i Trupa Trupa, alfieri di un meltin’ pot tra sonorità anglosassoni e anima della perla del Baltico.

Headache review – Fördeflüsterer

2016-04-07

Wenn ein Album den Titel „Headache“ trägt, also „Kopfschmerz“, dann muss man sich auf einiges gefasst machen. Die Band Trupa Trupa haben ihr drittes Album einfach so benannt, und vielleicht ist die Auswahl des Titels der Band auch einfach egal, schließlich haben sie ihr Debüt einfach „LP“ getauft, und dem Nachfolger hat das Quartett den Namen „++“ gegeben.

Headache review – Auftouren

Als der werte Kollege Pascal Weiß im vergangenen Jahr in seiner (Vor-)Auswahl zu irgendeinem Quartalsrückblick den Namen Trupa Trupa in Verbindung mit „Headache“ in seinen Charts erwähnte, wollte ich ob des seltsamen Namens mehr wissen.

Interview with Yoshiwara Collective

Trupa Trupa are Grzegorz Kwiatkowski, Tomek Pawluczuk, Wojtek Juchniewicz i Rafał Wojczal. Based in Gdansk, Poland, the band released their second LP „Headache” to much critical acclaim. A truly incredible album that conjures a psychedelic trip of darkness and tension although not without hope. Yoshiwara interviewed Grzegorz Kwiatkowski to shed some light on the darkness…
