Album Notes & Community Reviews

Seeking to expand their sonic horizons, the Tokyo-based psychedelic quintet traveled to Lisbon, Portugal to record this fourth studio album with jazz producer Bruno Pernadas. The incredibly warm, meticulously arranged record seamlessly integrates acoustic folk passages, sitar drones, and propulsive krautrock grooves. It is widely considered one of the most accessible, perfectly balanced, and highly textured releases of the modern psych-rock revival.
