ALBUM OF THE MONTH
Kikagaku Moyo
Kumoyo Island
Guruguru Brain
At the start of 2022, Japanese psych-rockers Kikagaku Moyo announced that they will be taking an ‘indefinite hiatus’ from releasing music and touring. For the last decade, the Tokyo 5-piece have pushed the envelope for psychedelic, alt-rock from Asia, with their own spun-out guitarladen, cosmic albums, spellbinding live shows and their own DIY label that celebrates the continent’s experimental music, Guruguru Brain. A collective that will be sorely missed, not just in Asia, but around thesuch a fun landscape to explore. Another brilliant, unpredictable and kaleidoscopic album,
