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 Upcoming EU Dates 20.05 - Kantine Berghain - Berlin, DE 21.05 - Pop Revo - Aarhus, DK 23.05 - Occii- Amsterdam, NL 24.05 - Magasin 4 - Brussels, BE 25.05 - The Cube - Bristol, UK 26.05 - London Fields Brewery - London 27.05 - The Star and Garter - Manchester 28.05 - Nice n Sleazy - Glasgow, UK 29.05 - Karma Fest - Leeds, UK 30.05 - Bleach - Brighton, UK 31.05 - Roodkapje - Rotterdam, NL 01.06 - Hafenklang - Hamburg, DE 02.06 - Plan B - Malmo, SE 03.06 - Kulturforening- Tivedstorp, SE 04.06 - High Times - Gothenburg, SE 05.06 - Muskelrock 2016 - Alvesta, SE 09.06 - Klub 007 - Prague, CZ 10.06 - Hightimes Hasenheide - Innsbruck 11.06 - Sudpol - Lucerne, CH 12.06 - Mountain Session - Bolzano, IT 13.06 - Sotto La Sacrestia - Milano, IT 14.06 - The Black Sheep - Montpellier, FR 15.06 - Asociacion Freedonia - Barcelona 16.06 - Las Armas - Zaragoza, ES 17.06 - Cafe Del Teatre - Lleida, ES 18.06 - El Sol - Madrid, ES 19.06 - ZDB - Lisbon, PT 20.06 - Lata De Zinc - Oviedo, ES 21.06 - Kafe Antzokia - Bilbao, ES 23.06 - Fashion Week - Paris, FR 25.06 - Blah Blah - Torino, IT 26.06 - Wunderbar - Verona, IT 28.06 - Klub Mocvara - Zagreb, HR 29.06 - Arena Wien - Vienna, AT 01.07 - Ilses Erika - Leipzig, DE 02.07 - Fusion Festiva - Larz, DE Tracklisting 01. Green Sugar 02. Kogarashi 03.
