    Songs ebb and flow between different styles, motifs appear and recede like roadside landmarks glimpsed briefly and passed in a blur. The result is an album that even in its slower moments seems to be constantly pushing forward, a hazy, dreamlike soundtrack to a classic road-trip movie.

    A great relaxed and restrained psychedelic album.

    The record is a fresh take on an often-elusive genre, but Kikagaku Moyo manages to pull it off with one of the more striking displays in recent memory.

    Kikagaku Moyo sound more assured than ever on this fourth album. [Nov 2018, p.32]

    Masana Temples is a comparatively accessible release from Kikagaku Moyo, despite rooting itself in a reality outside of our own. The ease with which these tracks can be entered leaves one wondering whether this utopian vision--for all its gestures at peace--could be closer to us than we thought.
