About

 Masana Temples - the fourth record from Japanese psych-rock band Kikagaku Moyo - is an album that seems almost suffused with life and colour; from the album’s vibrant, kabuki inspired artwork, to the rich instrumentation, right through to the fictional world that forms the album’s conceptual core.'  - The Four Oh Five 

'...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.' - Bandcamp
