Artur Rojek o Trupie Trupa

“Świetnych wyborów dokonuje Hania Rani, młodzi polscy jazzmani jak EABS, zespoły metalowe. Biorąc pod uwagę niełatwą twórczość, jaką uprawia, jestem pod dużym wrażeniem działalności grupy Trupa Trupa, a zwłaszcza Grześka Kwiatkowskiego, który jest kwintesencją wizji, nieustępliwości i ciężkiej pracy.”

For over a decade, the Polish band Trupa Trupa has been unleashing idiosyncratic blasts of psychedelic rock with a sharp post-punk edge, using music as a form of catharsis as well as activism. The group — Grzegorz Kwiatkowski and Wojtek Juchniewicz on vocals and guitar, plus Tomek Pawluczuk on drums — is now gearing up for the release of their new EP, “Mourners,” along with a performance at New York’s Heaven can wait on March 1.

Poland’s Trupa Trupa confront humankind’s atrocities to fight for something better. Trupa Trupa make rickety, bleak music for surviving authoritarianism. Since self-releasing their full-length debut, 2011’s LP, the trio from the coast of northern Poland have wandered through the foggiest and most aching parts of psych and garage rock, postpunk, and posthardcore to create a sound whose greatest consistency is its ability to express the darkest aspects of the human experience—and the beauty we must nurture despite it all.
