Hay cosas inesperadas que te alegran el fin de semana y ésta, aunque se llame “Headache”, es una de ellas. Este disco terminó en mi bandeja de entrada todavía no sé muy bien cómo, pero tampoco importa. De momento, leer que la música de Trupa Trupa es “demasiado extraña para que les guste a los seres humanos” me pareció demasiado para un sábado cualquiera y no me sentía especialmente preparada para sufrir una tortura sónica.
Displacement is a difficult sensation to convey using art most of the times. Feeling dislocated, out of your comfort zone can sometimes just be idiotic. But some more fortunate souls understand the nature of escapism—it’s not an art form, it is a way of getting inside art, seeing it firsthand. Curiously, escaping yourself, feeling displaced and alienized can feel rather therapeutic sometimes.
Blue Tapes have been teaming up with X-Ray Records recently and the results have been pretty spectacular. The latest release is no exception. It comes from Trupa Trupa, who hail from Gdansk in Poland.
Trupa trupa will be getting further mentions in these pages when that is we manage to rescue an email from our bulging in box we received from blue tapes many weeks back.
Saturday, 18 April, is the Headache cassette release date and it’s one of best in 2015 as picked by Tristan Bath of Quietus.
I Trupa Trupa sono un gruppo polacco giunto al terzo album Headache.
Alternative Rock from Gdansk, Poland, Trupa Trupa combine unsettling tones with just enough melody and pop nous to draw the listener right in to the midst of the swirling 90s alt rock atmosphere their new album Headache successfully creates.
It’s appropriately titled, just as was the Big Black EP of the same title. Only where Polish four-piece Trupa Trupa are concerned, it’s more of a slowly nagging throb than one of those splintering, cranium-splitting bastard headaches.
Gdansk, Poland band Trupa Trupa are a mixture of Krautrock, shoegaze, and psychedelia, and their new album is released via Blue Tapes and available on all formats including limited number tapes and frost-clear heavyweight vinyl. Below Philip Neeson gets a wee bit excited.
Test
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。
