The band has developed a unique mix of elements using their fragile but dynamic vocal styles combined with thrilling, unpredictable and addictive song transitions as they explore dreamy post-rock-esque melodies and the complex rhythms similar to math rock.
In 2012 and 2013, due to the well recieved singles, EPs and mini-album releases, they performed at several major festivals across Japan such as ARABAKI ROCK FEST, FUJI ROCK FESTIVAL, ROCK IN JAPAN, RISING SUN ROCK FESTIVAL, MONSTER BASH, WILD BUNCH FEST, SWEET LOVE SHOWER and more.
Not long after this was the arrival of tricot's debut full-length album "T H E" which followed another long and successful support tour, leading into the 2014 year with appearances around 5 countries during the “What’s Ochansensu-Su!? tricot Asia Tour”.
That same year the band appeared at four large festivals in Europe and show no signs of slowing down their rapidly expanding career.
The band's name is sometimes stylized as: トリコ (toriko)

2. tricot is an instrumenta emo post-rock band from Porto Alegre, Brazil; Berlin, Germany; and Erechim, Brazil, formed in 2006 by members and ex-members of My Soundtracked Life, Campbell Trio and Emer with the only consistent members being Diego Poloni and Rafael Poloni, both on guitars. The band has an irregular activity due to its members living in different countries and not always being able to be together, which makes the band an almost exclusively studio project.
They had a recording session in 2006 which is currently "lost" due to a malfunctioning hard drive (meaning it exists but is currently inaccessible).
They entered the studio again in mid 2008, but the recordings were never finished, with two of the songs recorded being released in 2010.
They again entered the studio in December of 2013 and January of 2014, but again, never finished the recordings. However, the band will release the five songs from this 2013/2014 sessions in 2023 and is intending to record a full length album in the near future (and release it this time).
The band got its name from the last track on My Soundtracked Life's 2006 album colours, senses and noises: a suite in 12 movements, which is called "tricot".

大人になりたい私も まだ少女で居たい私も
構いはしない
時刻表には記載されない 月への列車が来ると聞いて
いつものエナメル肩から離しはしなかったの
時が過ぎ和らいで
幻の駅には 取り残されている
魔法があるのよ 明日からは
いつもとは違う景色が見れるから
今日はもう おやすみ
秘密基地に託した パスワードを掘り当てて
感覚さえ取り戻せたら 可能性は薄れたりなんかしない
あの月へゆける
幻の駅には 残されている
魔法があるのよ 貴方だけに
こんな時間に起きてちゃ
ほらまた泣くでしょう?
今日はもう、おやすみ
いつだって列車はちょっとも 待ってはくれなかったけど
また明日、お休み
The lyrics to tricot's song "おやすみ" tell a story about the desire to escape reality and find solace in a magical place. The singer reflects on the fleeting nature of time, expressing a longing to stay both a child and grow into adulthood. The trains in the lyrics serve as a metaphor for the passing of time, never waiting for anyone.
In the first verse, the singer mentions hearing about a train to the moon that isn't listed on the schedule, but she doesn't let go of her usual routine. This could symbolize a missed opportunity or a reluctance to break free from the ordinary. However, as time goes by, the singer feels a sense of relief and gradually opens up, able to share her thoughts and feelings more honestly.
The chorus introduces the concept of a mythical station and magic, hinting at the possibility for a new and different experience. The singer mentions leaving behind a password at a secret base in hopes of rediscovering her senses and unlocking the potential to reach the moon. The idea of the moon represents an unreachable dream or a place of escape.
The final lines of the song acknowledge the relentless nature of the trains, never waiting for anyone, but reassures that tomorrow is another day, a day to rest and find peace. It conveys a sense of acceptance and the understanding that it's okay to take a break from the constant flow of time and responsibilities.
Overall, "おやすみ" explores themes of longing, the passage of time, and the desire for an alternate reality.

Lyrics in English:
The usual train didn’t wait a minute for me
Even I want to be an adult, Even I want to be a little girl
I just didn’t mind at all
I heard that a train to the moon will come
But it wasn’t listed on the timetable
It didn’t lift off my usual enamel shoulder
Time softly passes
And they say it speaks for everything
In this station of illusions,
There are magic still left behind
Since I’ll be able to see a different scenery from tomorrow
Now it’s time for goodnight
I entrusted you my secret base, now figure out the password
Even if my feelings get taken back, It’s possible that they won’t fade away
Now we can get to the moon
In this station of illusions,
There are magic still left behind… only for you
Still awake at this hour
See? I’m gonna cry again
Now it’s time for goodnight
The usual train didn’t wait a minute for me however
Good night, see you tomorrow
