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".

ぼかして 行き過ぎて 舞い戻る
花びらは仕草を追いかけ
薄明かりの下で 密やか
つまさきであやす月の兎は踊り
星の間を飛びまわる
口笛吹き
飛沫 あがる
わたし 駆ける
追いかける星は
まわる まわる ちいさなつぼみ
さいて さいて 月にお願い
おだやかな影に薄化粧
しらずしらず えいや！と投げた
つぼみは 行方知れず のまま
見下ろして小さくなった雲の間に
芽を出した線香花火
つぶらな夢
飛沫 あがる
火花 翔る
問いかけた星は
かわる がわる 顔を変えた
さいて さいて くるりとまわる
舞姫の如く たまゆらに
思い思いに動く影と
背中を合わせて （ああ）
走る！
弧を描き
影は延びる
陽炎の先に
さいた あった！ まあるい花が
さいた さいた
星の破片が
月の裏側で泣いていた
気づかぬうちに 隠れていた兎も
また弧 描く
さいて さいて 月にお願い
おだやかな影に薄化粧
しらずしらず えいや！と投げた
つぼみは 行方知れず
さいて さいた 風に揺られて
おだやかな坂は 薄化粧
下駄鳴らして口笛合わせ
凛として はんなりの こころ
The lyrics of Tricot's "凛として咲く花の如く" speak of a dream world where the boundaries of reality blur. The first verse talks about the blurred contours of a dream in the deep spring, and how the petals of flowers chase after gestures in the dim light. The second verse shifts to a more active tone, describing a rabbit chasing stars and the sparks of fireworks that bloom like round dreams. The chorus speaks of the blooming of small buds, the changing faces of stars, and the shadowy movements of dancers.
The third verse alludes to a hidden rabbit, while the fourth verse talks about the appearance of a full flower. The song then finishes with the chorus once again, expressing a serene and graceful emotion.
The lyrics of this song can be interpreted in many ways, but they often evoke the themes of dreams, rebirth, and hidden memories. The music video also has a dreamlike quality, showing the band members performing in a surreal garden.
