Recenzja EP – Jersey Beat
Building upon the success and magnificence of their previous release, Of the Sun, Poland’s Trupa Trupa return with I’ll Wait, a shimmering work of psychedelically charged indie rock. The opening “Fitzcarraldo” is a living musical dichotomy, somehow simultaneously beautiful and unsettling. The song is based on a film directed by Werner Herzog about the real life escapades of Peruvian rubber kingpin Carlos Fitzcarrald.

Pandemia w Polsce, na świecie. To jest czas dla poetów?
– To, co się dzieje jest oczywiście straszne, a jednocześnie to moment inspirujący ponieważ dotyczy przewartościowania. Z drugiej strony, w sensie egzystencjalnym to prostu norma.
Norma?
– Rzeczywiście, więcej ludzi umiera, ale śmierć w immanentnej, potężnej formie jest obecna zawsze. Sedno tkwi, moim zdaniem, w tej społecznej kwarantannie, przez którą nasz czas zwolnił, a wręcz się zatrzymał. Do wielu ludzi dotarło, że jednak jesteśmy śmiertelni. Zapanowało coś, co często jest tematem literatury, czyli memento mori. Hans Castorp został niespodziewanie wtrącony do Czarodziejskiej góry i musi postawić sobie wiele pytań. Zatem, potencjalnie, jest to sytuacja również pozytywna.

Wywiad na łamach Jersey Beat
Like the work of legendary artist Zdzislaw Beksinski, the music of Gdansk, Poland’s Trupa Trupa is dreamlike, haunting, and stirring. The four-piece has a unique sound, but the messages behind its work are larger than art. Guitarist and vocalist Grzegorz Kwiatkowski daringly addresses topics such as Holocaust denial in his work, as he has numerous personal connections to the worst atrocity in man’s history. Kwiatkowski was kind enough to answer a few questions for me about his band, the state of music and politics, and how each individual can participate in rejecting global ignorance and hate. It was an honor to speak with him, if only via email, and Trupa Trupa is a band to celebrate, both for the originality of their sound and the critical nature of their words.

Recenzja EP – The Register-Guard – Best new 2020 releases for the first few weeks of isolation
As with many releases from the Gdansk, Poland, band that was supposed to appear at Austin’s SXSW, a gentle, urging melody swirls around a lyrical message, laid bare by haunting new video that echoes the band’s theme: radical, dark, anti-hate-speech songs. The lyrics are often only snippets, phrases, designed to provoke rather than soothe, hint rather than resolve. As we can see now how easy it is for a snowman to melt.
