\"Kikagaku<\/a>Tokyo\u2019s psychedelic five-piece Kikagaku Moyo<\/a> are gearing up to drop their new full-length album, House In The Tall Grass<\/em>. Slated for a May 13th release via Guruguru Brain<\/a>, the effort follows last year’s split 7\u201d with Moon Duo.
\nDescribed as “perhaps the most refined example of their style to date”, the upcoming album sees the band continue to experiment and explore different genres and influences, from classical Indian music to Krautrock, from traditional folk to 70s Rock.<\/p>\n

Ahead of the album’s release, Kikagaku Moyo have shared the sweet and serene first single ‘Kogarashi’. Vocalist\/guitarist Tomo Katsurada explains how the song was born:<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cI came up with the melody and rhythm of Kogarashi, when I was about to fall asleep at the park. It was a nice warm day in the Autumn to get stoned and pass out in the park. I remember I was surrounded by the multi-coloured dead leaves and felt warm when I woke up. But all of the sudden, Kogarashi (the Autumn wind) blew all of the leaves away. It was a beautiful and psychedelic Autumn moment.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Listen to ‘Kogarashi’ below.
