Kikagaku Moyo (Japanese for „geometric patterns“) are a Tokyo-based psychedelic rock band whose sound incorporates elements of Krautrock, Indian ragas, and acid folk. They balance heavy, crushing jams with softer, more contemplative moments, recalling Japanese psych groups like Acid Mothers Temple and Ghost, as well as their predecessors such as Far East Family Band and the Flower Travellin‘ Band. The group was founded during the summer of 2012 by drummer/vocalist Go Kurosawa and guitarist/vocalist Tomo Katsurada. Joined by bassist Kotsuguy, guitarist Daoud Popal, sitarist Ryu Kurosawa, and guest vocalist/theremin player Angie Gotopo, the group recorded its self-titled debut in 2013. Initially self-released digitally, the album was given a vinyl release by Greek label Cosmic Eye later in the year, followed by an American release by Captcha Records in 2014. The group released two more albums in 2014 (Mammatus Clouds and Forest of Lost Children), and became darlings of the international psychedelic scene, with appearances at Austin Psych Fest and L.A. Psych Fest, in addition to successful tours of America, the U.K., and Europe. In 2015, the group shared split 7″ singles with Moon Duo as well as Kinski and Acid Mothers Temple leader Makoto Kawabata. In 2016, the group’s fourth album, House in the Tall Grass, was released by Japanese label Guruguru Brain.

If you want to put your mind on hold for a while, and dive deep into land or even a planet far far away… dive in deep Down With The Gypsies. This is the kind of music, which just wants you to stand still and feel lost in time and space for a while. But you won’t be lost. They will be there with you. For you. And they will be stuck in your mind. This ancient, warm voice of singer Gaba and her polish roots that holds you like a mother is holding her child, surrounded by a cosmic dreamy atmosphere. It’s like a movie soundtrack. Lean back! Let go!\
Have a comfy one on your magic flying carpet of flute filled dreams. Dreams of blues, folk and krautrock.
