The callback to Kobe Number is so good and Mitete is a certified banger. Album feels like a big
step up from Repeat for me

A standard sunny release from Tricot belying the album cover, Makkuro is a solid showcase of the group's defining characteristics. Tricot excel at infusing harmony and melody with Japanese math rock drumming and guitar noodling, but you get the sense they're slightly living below their potential here.

Bright, uplifting and groovy mix of mathrock/pop that is very often energetic and heavy but has plenty of downtempo, softer sections to keep a good contrast and prevent the album from being repetitive. If anything it is very interesting to see the collision of massive math rock and big pop elements on one album. The songs are catchy while containing technical instrumentation. The guitar tones and the work on those strings deserves extra attention and the drums deserve an extra shoutout as well. If anything, the vocals have great melodies and harmonies but they feel a bit overbearing and constant by the time the album finishes, a bit more room for the instruments to breath would be massive here. Consistently great moments here but in the end it lacks that signature track that you feel is a year end best song or a true classic song.

Its hard to say how I really feel about this album. Its a competently made tricot album, but it almost feels *too* competent. Its a better album when compared to AND (because AND feels more like a collection of songs than an album), but it doesn't give us anywhere near the heights of AND or any other tricot album for that matter. Makkuro gives us a condensed, purified summary of tricot sound to this point, with the emo-edge filed down, and whilst I appreciate that, I do hope subsequent tricot releases try to give us something more, whether that is by returning to some of the ideas off 3, or by going more pop like repeat - although maybe that sound is better saved for what seems like an inevitable solo project by Ikkyu.

Tricot gives an enjoyable fun album full of some great rhythms and melodies, that does fall victim to an odd mixing choice that makes a lot of the album feel uneven.
