Oct 5, 2018A great relaxed and restrained psychedelic album.

Oct 3, 2018Masana Temples is a comparatively accessible release from Kikagaku Moyo, despite rooting itself in a reality outside of our own.

MojoOct 3, 2018Psych instincts and gas-weight vibes avoid modern psych's retro slavishness, but its lightweight sound can feel insubstantial. [Nov 2018, p.96]

Oct 11, 2018Songs 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.
