Tricot - 99.974℃

I'm digging this band from Kyoto. The drummer has that rhythmic psycho thing a la Greg Saunier (Deerhoof) but it's more under control. They'd sound a bit like Hella if not for the lyrical vocals countering the chaos. I'm catching a dash of Souls (Swedish band nobody remembers) as well, but regardless of the input, the output stands on its own.


The trouble with this type of music is that it can very quickly all start to sound the same. The language divide makes it just a tad more difficult to grab onto something, but so far they haven't lost me. That energy is luminous.
