I’ve been corresponding with Grzegorz Kwiatkowski, singer and guitarist of Polish post-punk-art-psych outfit Trupa Trupa for a few years now. I was feeling pretty down last week (and maybe it seeped into my column (okay, it did)), and I told Grzegorz a bit about some of the stuff that was bothering me.

She made an international call to Poland to chat with Grzegorz Kwiatkowski of the indie rock band Trupa Trupa about how the coronavirus affected the release cycle for their new EP, I’ll Find, as well as the history of their hometown, and their plans for the future.
Grzegorz Kwiatkowski: „Maybe we’ll establish a better community worldwide in the future. Very often this kind of tragic situation brings some light and hope and new solutions for the whole world. I think we should have an optimism. I’m sure that because of the darkness we can produce some light.”

Full day but a quick note that Trupa Trupa, who I reviewed for Bandcamp a little while back, have a new EP out — listen in!
If you’re looking for something to get lost in, Trupa Trupa recently dropped a hypnotic new E.P. – My fave release so far from these Polish dream merchants.
Great EP from a Baltic Beta Band without the collective ego.
