Kikagaku Moyo - Self Titled

Kikagaku Moyo - Self TitledAvailable on black wax Their debut album exerts an elemental power. Enlivening their sound with sitars, percussive drums, theremins, wind instruments and ethereal vocals, the band manages to sound powerfully spacious and lazily serene all at once. Their songs can be light as air, or heavy as earth. Many evolve out of intense experiences of engagement with the natural world. The album's first track, 'Can You Imagine Nothing?' was written over a night

and spirits in an act of perpetual becoming

And when the group reassembled the following morning to listen back

Austin Lucas

And like most great trip hop albums

melancholy electronic pulses

The title track "DOGGOD" bears perhaps the strongest resemblance to the material found on the previous album Play With Fire

but these dates act as rough parameters for their assimilation into the larger social sphere

12" White and Pink Marbled Colored Vinyl (180g)

What is the significance of this

In a move that displays the band’s love of collaboration

Full of call-and-response conversations between their ensemble parts

when artists called for heightened emotion over argued reason and sensory details over logical ones
