Tripsitter is without a doubt the wrong music for the times...and that's exactly why people dig 'em. Their music is like listening to a Twilight Zone-esque radio transmission from a past that never was. No samples, no guest rappers, no watered down Gap store punk. Just great music that pays attention to melody and structure instead of demographics. They make this stuff because they want to, it's who they are and it's reflected in their work. This is Tripsitter and you would do well to listen to them as they play music from their own time in their own way.
