Tricot (often stylised tricot; pronounced toh-ri-ko with short syllables) is a math rock trio from Kyoto, Japan. Known for their intricate rhythms[1] and visual identity,[2] they have released four EPs and three full-length albums. They were described by Rolling Stone as "Adrenalized math rock sped up and given pop's candy coating".[3] They have toured extensively in Japan, as well as playing in Singapore,[4] the United Kingdom and Europe. In 2015 they launched their first North American tour, followed shortly by a full European tour in 2016.
