The project’s driving spirit is Marcin Pryt. Apart from him, the super line-up of Tryp is made up of musicians known from the bands Agressiva 69, Cool Kids Of Death, and Psychocukier. The leader treats the project as a platform for exposing his vision and exploring his obsessions and fascinations. The music itself is a quasi-baroque kaleidoscope of sounds, combined with a super-torrent of verbal messages. In Pryt’s phraseology, there is a place for outstanding poetry splashed at times with low-brow quotes from the media, urban slang, and a network of neologisms. Each of the two albums the band has released so far has a narrative character, being an independent thematic concept. Kochanówka is dedicated to the victims of the Nazi action T4 conducted in the Łódź psychiatric hospital in 1940. Trypolis refers to the cultural reflection on the encounter between Africa (first of all, the conflict-ridden Maghreb countries) and the European sensitivity and its civilisational legacy in the current “post” context. Marcin Pryt cites the expression and personality of Alan Vega and Suicide; the intensity of the collage of sounds, words, and motifs, as well as the pace at which they are presented to the listener, brings to mind the first albums of Jim Foetus. Prepare for an ultra-fast trip that will electrify your every sense. [ws]
