Hot on the heels of the release of their last single “BAKURO” in May, Japanese rock band tricot return with another new track, “INAI”, which is released today, Wednesday, June 2 across all digital music streaming platforms.

The song was written for the Japanese drama series 春の呪い (Haru no Noroi). It is a killer tune whose lyrics flirt with a very human unbalanced madness, combined with the technical prowess and emotional musicality that is tricot’s calling card.

On the same day, a music video for “INAI” was released on tricot’s official YouTube channel. In the video, tricot give a passionate performance in a mysterious space that features a large hole that is clearly symbolic of… something. This dark and seemingly bottomless void is connected to the craziness of the song – but you’ll have to watch the video to the end to figure out what it all means.

Comment from tricot vocalist/guitarist Ikkyu Nakajima

“When I feel I am trapped by some invisible force, I realize that it is not real, just a curse of my own creation. I wrote “INAI” with this realization in mind. May everyone’s curses be broken!”

In addition, tricot will also appear at Japan’s largest outdoor rock festival, Fuji Rock Festival ’21. With tricot’s fiercely technical musicianship and their knack for unpredictable performances, it’s sure to be an exciting show.
