Kikagaku Moyo

Kikagaku Moyo (Japanese for "geometric patterns") are a Tokyo-based psychedelic rock band whose sound incorporates elements of Krautrock, Indian ragas, and acid folk. Over the course of a short period of time, they released a series of records, - including 2016's breakout "House in the Tall Grass" and 2018's sharply sculpted "Masana Temples" - that balanced heavy, crushing jams with softer, more contemplative moments.

Kikagaku Moyo were founded during the summer of 2012 by drummer/vocalist Go Kurosawa and guitarist/vocalist Tomo Katsurada. Joined by bassist Kotsuguy, guitarist Daoud Popal, sitarist Ryu Kurosawa, and guest vocalist/theremin player Angie Gotopo, the group recorded their self-titled debut in 2013.
