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".
ひと飲みで
tricot Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
銀色の斑点が混ざる
自分勝手で泣き腫らした
瞼を擦って また
簡単に膝をついた
君を許さない
さぁおいでよ手の鳴る方へ
落ちつかないでいいよ そのまま聴いて
興奮状態の君に効くのがあるから
感覚器に頼って馬鹿みたいに
ピントも合わせないまま
その眼にはヒドイ絵を映した
さぁひと飲みで一度で
飲み込んだら戻さずに
苦しいのは始めだけすぐに良くなるから
さぁおいで音のする方へ 狂ってるのはお前の方さ
疑わないでよ誰だって自分が基準
それくらいお前にも解るだろう？
The lyrics of Tricot's song ひと飲みで describe the feeling of being overwhelmed by the intensity of light and how it affects one’s vision, causing a mix of silver spots within it. The singer implies they have been crying, rubbing their swollen eyes to no avail, and falling to their knees, blaming someone else for their pain. The singer then invites the listener to come towards the sound, telling them not to worry about losing their composure as there is something that will work on their heightened state of excitement.
The song seems to be about an emotional state of agitation that is triggered by physical responses to stimuli such as light and sound. The singer feels out of control and unstable, seeking a release from their pain through whatever means they can find. Despite their apparent instable status, the singer believes their senses will be heightened, allowing them to experience exciting things that they previously never had access to.
