Flower-petal transparent coloured vinyl limited to 2000 units Announced with the 'FAREWELL KIKAGAKU MOYO' LIMITED BUNDLE' on 2023-04-20 The bundle includes Kikagaku Moyo's five studio albums, with the first four in a flower-petal coloured vinyl effect ([r=26847395], [r=26848031], [r=26848130], [r=26848202]) and the fifth, Kumoyo Island, in a picture disc version ([r=26848229]). The band formed in 2012 and went into an indefinite hiatus in 2022 after 10 years and five critically acclaimed albums that have established them as one of the most innovative and exciting bands in the modern psych scene. The vinyl bundle offers fans the opportunity to own the entire discography of Kikagaku Moyo and is the perfect way to bid farewell to the band. The shifting dimensions of Masana Temples, fourth album from psychedelic explorers Kikagaku Moyo, are informed by various experiences the band had with traveling through life together, ranging from the months spent on tour to making a pilgrimage to Lisbon to record the album with jazz musician Bruno Pernadas. The band sought out Pernadas both out of admiration for his music and in an intentional move to work with a producer who came from a wildly different background. With Masana Temples, the band wanted to challenge their own concepts of what psychedelic music could be. Elements of both the attentive folk and wild-eyed rocking sides of the band are still intact throughout, but they’re sharper and more defined. More than the literal interpretation of being on a journey, the album’s always changing sonic panorama reflects the spiritual connection of the band moving through this all together. Life for a traveling band is a series of constant metamorphoses, with languages, cultures, climates and vibes changing with each new town. The only constant for Kikagaku Moyo throughout their travels were the five band members always together moving through it all, but each of them taking everything in from very different perspectives. Inspecting the harmonies and disparities between these perspectives, the group reflects the emotional impact of their nomadic paths. The music is the product of time spent in motion and all of the bending mindsets that come with it.
