LISTEN & SHARE: Kikagaku Moyo - "Green Sugar"
"Soft bells and sitar notes lead the listener through a calming field of echoing guitars and billowing bass. While the nearly eight-minute voyage is a peaceful, refreshing one, it’s all a lead-up to the surprisingly spry final moments, where Pink Floyd-ian drama breaks into an electrifying, squiggling guitar solo." - Consequence of Sound
 
LISTEN & SHARE: Kikagaku Moyo -  "Melted Crystal"
“'Melted Crystal' is music that requests—and rewards—your quiet contemplation." - FLOOD
 
LISTEN & SHARE: Kikagaku Moyo - "Silver Owl"
"The sighing vocals allow each word to tumble over the next, while the nimble sitar-sounds in the background lend a lysergic air." - CLASH
 
LISTEN & SHARE: Kikagaku Moyo - "Kogarashi"
"the first single is the pastoral and quite lovely “Kogarashi”" - Brooklyn Vegan

Kikagaku Moyo have released their latest track "Green Sugar" via Consequence of Sound. You can listen here. Following their split 7” with Moon Duo late last year, Tokyo’s Kikagaku Moyo have announced details of their forthcoming new album House In The Tall Grass for release on May 13th via Guruguru Brain. You can pre-order the album here.
“["Green Sugar"] was inspired by a morning walk. Its three parts express first a blizzard, then a gentle stroll in the woods finding birds, foxes and squirrels, and finally a descent into a bottomless cave where you fall into a black river and you are washed away. The writing process was collaborative. Together we wrote the various parts, then during recording we added percussion and keyboard.” Go Kurosawa
