TRUPA TRUPA ANNOUNCE NEW EP MOURNERS PRODUCED BY NICK LANEY, WATCH THE VIDEO FOR FIRST SINGLE “SISTER RAY” |
EP ART Gdańsk, Poland post-punk band Trupa Trupa have announced a new EP Mourners produced by Nick Laney (Nick Cave, Idles, Amyl and The Sniffers, etc..) for February 21st via Glitterbeat Records. Their first new music since 2022’s B FLAT A, Mourners EP is five new fast-paced, dynamic tracks highlighting the crucial role of the rhythm section, with a powerful, loud bass line and accompanying drums driving a psychedelic train full of rage, screams, and unexpected stylistic twists. A significant point of reference and inspiration is Holger Czukay, a native of Gdańsk from the band Can, whose repetitive compositions are so important to the tradition of psychedelic and post-punk music. Today you can hear a new first track, the punchy, punky and multidimensional “Sister Ray”. The song captures what’s most characteristic of Trupa Trupa - a blend of absurd imagery, poetry and surrealism. All Streaming to "Sister Ray" HERE For years, Trupa Trupa has been rooted in a strong rhythm section and the dynamic collision between a romantic, almost Beatles-like world and a post-punk reality filled with decay and screams. Trupa Trupa has never sounded stronger or more dynamic. On the Mourners EP, Nick Launay has brought out a new side of Trupa Trupa. This release is not just the quintessence of the best of what has come before, but under Nick Launay’s guidance, Trupa Trupa has ventured into a new power trio story. For the first time in the band’s history, the studio album recordings have the same intensity as their live performances. Trupa Trupa will kick off their upcoming performances with a series of shows in the UK this December. Following that, the band will embark on a US tour in the second half of February.
