Tony Njoku Shares Shapeshifting and Arresting New Track Remain Calm

In ‘Remain Calm’s’ lyrical micro-statement and crudely sharded synth-sound can be detected Suprematism’s ‘zero degree’ proto-abstractionist art. In an appropriate follow up from ‘Drifting Off In A Care Powered Balloon” the cosmic pavilions, synthetic horizons and social utopianism of Olafur Eliasson’s work is coded into the song’s starry arpeggios and flinty modulations.

DRAWNED AND QUARTERED started off as Plague Bearer (which is now a side project of the guitarist Kelly) more than two and a half decade ago. Despite residing beneath the radar, the Seattle based death metal force has earned huge admiration from the critiques and the listeners because of their unconventional and dark structured song-writings. Six highly acclaimed full lengths and numerous demo and EP releases are the illustrations why D & Q’s existence in the underground is invulnerable and indestructible.

NPR select Trupa Trupa as ‘ones to watch’ at SXSW

Alongside the likes of Princess Nokia, Shopping, and Superorganism, Trupa Trupa have been selected by the illustrious NPR as ones to watch at SXSW 2018.

This is what the publication had to say about our psych rock band:

“Why We’re Excited: Trupa Trupa frontman Grzegorz Kwiatkowski is a published poet, but in “To Me,” he limits his lyrical output to precisely three words: “Away / To me.” That leaves Trupa Trupa to pound out a hefty blast of warped and churning psych-rock thunder that culminates in a full-band freakout of hair-raising proportions.”
