"Call it math-pop, technical sugar-pop, J-punk, jazzy post-rock — whatever it is, the Kyoto-based Tricot makes sophisticated music that's as sweet and bubbly as soda."
-NPR

"3 shows Tricot at their proggiest and most punkish, now fully sounding like a version of At the Drive-In that had never split up and kept pushing post-hardcore to its limits."
-Noisey

"[DeDeDe] is a dizzying triumph of Alanis-like vocals and generous drums."
-Fader

"Bright, sunny, and full of twists and turns, leaping between styles at a moment’s notice, it’s a completely engrossing ride."
-DIY Magazine

"A gleaming three-and-a-half minutes that bends and bursts and delivers a thrilling sense of brightness that will have you clamouring for the repeat button."
-GoldFlakePaint (on "DeDeDe")

"The language barrier is no match for Ikkyu Nakajima’s emotive vocals, which go to soaring heights at the song’s close."
-Stereogum (on "DeDeDe")

"... the nonstop time-signature shifts and torrid playing that animate their tricky pop is the work of a band in its own lane."
-Rolling Stone

"Since forming Tricot (pronounced “tree-ko,” a French word for a type of knitting) in 2010, they’ve drawn on a wide variety of rock scenes—slow-burning American post-rock, bustling Fukuoka’s frantic indie-rock—to create guitar-centric songs that constantly pivot in new directions."
-Fader

"Tricot’s music is characterised by the frenetic math rock rhythms that underpin Ikkyu’s vocals, which flip from sprightly to a sprawling rage on a knife’s edge. Fans of Battles, Speedy Ortiz, Zach Hill’s pre-Death Grips band Hella, and proto-emos Don Caballero should find plenty to like here."
