„A case of discovery and reactivation then as Headache, Trupa Trupa‘s third release, first came into existence on the ‘Blue Tapes & X-Ray’ imprint. When Stéphane Grégoire met the four-piece in their Polish homeland, a copy was quickly thrust into his palm and a love affair soon blossomed. Blossomed so well in fact they were eventually signed to Stéphane’s ‘Ici d’ailleurs’ label with the now newly remastered ‘Headache’ receiving a further reshuffle, finding itself transformed into a more substantial double vinyl set.

„Trupa Trupa’s surrealist Headache proves that psychedelic and post-rock can peacefully co-exist. With an unconventional approach Trupa Trupa deliver thoughtful surprising works infused with tenderness. Although experimentation roams wild and free throughout there is an emotional core that ties the album together. Melodies gently drift on by nicely accompanied by the dreamy vocals of Grzegorz Kwiatkowski’s and Wojtek Juchniewicz. Lyrics add to the overall sense of the journey as they feel reminiscent of the potent poetics of late 60s otherworldly lyricism.

„Zoveel muziek horen we normaal gesproken niet uit Gdansk, een voormalige Hanzestad in het noordoosten van Polen. Maar nu is er Trupa Trupa, en hoe. Het gezicht van de vierkoppige band is dichter en zanger Grzegorz Kwiatkowski, die dromerige teksten prevelt maar net zo goed machtig kan schreeuwen en flink uithalen.

„Il arrive parfois que certains albums mettent un peu de temps à nous parvenir. Parfois, ils nous parviennent même jamais. Il suffit d’un peu de hasard, un peu de chance, être là au bon moment ou presque.
