I don't like punk, nor especially the pop-punk thing that emerged first in the 1990s and somehow stuck around. I have no fondness for Asian pop. If someone told me I would be this impressed by an album that threw all of this together with hints of math rock, I would have been very surprised. Frankly, I wouldn't have bothered had I not first seen some videos of the band by sheer accident. Truly, I stumbled into Tricot. It doesn't take long to get here if you start listening to Elephant Gym, but where Elephant Gym is precise and meticulous, with barely a hint of easily digestible pop, Tricot is something else. While both bands get classified under this thing called "math rock," they don't sound very similar to me. Whatever. Tricot is all over the place. Loud, hard, brash, but not in a true punk fashion. By that, I mean that there is a line running from The Stooges to the Sex Pistols and the Ramones through grunge and punk revival, but there is also a sort of pop-punk thing that lacks the ragged edge of punk, and combines the technical ineptitude of a particularly bad punk band with the insipid pop of a market-tested mall band from the early 1990s. I admit a fondness for Raw Power, but that latter category... no. Just... no. Yet, there is something of that pop-punk aesthetic here, without the insipidness. Just a hint of ragged energy, unlike the precision of Elephant Gym. The instrumentals retain enough to impress me, as is appropriate in math rock, and the angularity is there. Yet, there is also a sort of candy coating that I would also normally hate, and which Elephant Gym didn't have. Really, how did I get here from Elephant Gym? Regardless, something about the manic energy prevents the candied-over elements from making the music anything but exciting. Tricot manages a cool trick. These styles shouldn't go together. Bands like Polyphia can combine elements of math rock with metal and get something cool and weird and different, but that isn't conceptually odd. This is. This shouldn't work. Polyphia is taking one form of music that is intrinsically complex, and mixing it with something else that is intrinsically complex. Hiding the seams is not easy, to be sure, but it isn't something that makes you say, no WAY can that work. Combining math rock with pop-punk and Asian pop? Huh? Really? This works, HOW? It works because this is a smart and creative group that knows what they are doing. I am surprised and impressed. Review: Buy this album - Great album by an amazing band. ## Images ![3 - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/918hj6GjTeL.jpg) ![3 - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71gQ5QbUxEL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Beyond my expectations *by S***E on August 28, 2020* Everything about 3 says that this album shouldn't be my cup of tea.
