tricot Achieves Excellency with Latest Album!
/
Popular four-member rock band tricot release their third major-label album Jodeki this past week on December 15 physically and across all digital music streaming platfroms.
The band have released a string of singles throughout 2021. They kicked off the year with “BAKURO”, followed by TV series theme song “INAI”, as well as “WALKING” (produced by NUMBER GIRL member Kentaro Nakao), all of which are included on Jodeki. The album also features a new recording of “Super Summer”, which was originally included on a 2013 compilation album released by revered Japanese label Pizza of Death Records; “Tissue”, a song that has a comforting feeling of weakness; and the title track Jodeki, which offers a playful message from tricot as they are today. The 12 songs collected on this album form a dense work that shows a side of the band that can truly be considered “tricot 2021”.
The band made the bold decision to make the instrumental versions of all the songs and their lyrics available ahead of the album’s release, before anyone had a chance to actually hear most of the songs with vocals included. This led fans to make surprised comments on social media such as, “Will all of those lengthy lyrics for “KAYOKO” really fit into the song?” and, “It’s incredible that tricot can make these songs work so well with just the music”.
The album jacket shows vocalist Ikkyu Nakajima’s pet dog Wicket standing proud in a dog-fighting cape embroidered with the album title, Jodeki. Be sure to order your copy Jodeki below, along with the streaming link here!
