Recenzja koncertu na festiwalu MENT – The Quietus
Trupa Trupa are a very moreish rock band boasting undoubted skill and killer songs, who trade in a mix of Weimar cabaret, brutal math rock and frazzled psychedelia.

Words fail to describe Poland’s Trupa Trupa, just ask anyone who has witnessed them live!

Of The Sun uznano za „the most unexpected revelation” 2019 roku przez brytyjski dziennik The Morning Star.
Trupa Trupa have not been making friends in their native Poland. They come from Gdańsk, that precariously placed city over which history has so often rolled like a tank. Their big theme is collective memory – the way it is distorted, perverted and suppressed for political ends.
Channeling a wary mixture of dread and hope, the Polish indie rockers tighten the slackness of previous records into a potent fusion of post-hardcore and shoegaze.[…] More than just revel in the tension between medium and message, Trupa Trupa are the rare dystopian post-punk band to embrace optimism and levity as necessary survival mechanisms.[…] Trupa Trupa may not have the perfect prescription for a better world, but they welcome you to imagine one together.
Mateusz Witkowski: Dziennikarze niemal zawsze poruszają w wywiadach z tobą trudne i wielkie tematy: II wojna światowa, sztuka, demokracja. Nie masz czasem ochoty porozmawiać o głupotach?
Jak to się stało, że fanem małego psychodelicznego zespołu z Gdańska jest Henry Rollins oraz dziennikarze Pitchforka i Timesa? I dlaczego Grzegorz Kwiatkowski pisze wiersze o eugenice?
With shades of Sonic Youth, Radiohead and the kind of rainy, overcoat-wearing bands that Manchester was so good at producing in the early Eighties, Trupa Trupa jump from hypnotic trawls (Satellite) to shouty angular stomps (Turn), while bringing some indefinable quality that can come only from their lives.

Henry Rollins uważa „Of The Sun” za fantastyczny album i puszcza „Dream about” „Anyhow” i „Mangle” w swojej audycji na antenie radia KCRW.
Grzegorz Kwiatkowski of the Polish band Trupa Trupa is a singer of few, well-chosen words. He addresses uncomfortable truths, the absurdity of life, and turns these terse poems into songs that feel like dreams, charged with spasms of noise, gut-punch bass lines and hypnotic melodies.
Let’s Gdansk: splendid fifth offering from the Polish art-rock quartet. Super Trupa Trupa: swimming against the tides. Straight out of a Baltic port, this gripping and energetic record packs a serious punch while doing some of its best work very quietly.

The Polish quartet reaches new hypnotic heights…
Trupa Trupa are a fascinating band. They are a gregarious bunch, and any time spent with them involves a fair number of drinks and a raft of increasingly absurdist stories and jokes; all in the best Polish tradition. They are also a band that unlock many things in their listeners.
This Polish band’s fifth album is a solid set of psych-tinged post-punk with a dark, atmospheric sound featuring ominous guitars, stern rhythms and haunting melodies.
Dzisiaj premiera Of The Sun!
