Soft Shakes: Vinyl LP

Pre-Order Item. Release Date Subject to Change.
Label: Guruguru Brain
Release Date: 5th September

The brains behind ace psychedelic experimental kosmich label Guruguru Brain and drummer for Kikagaku Moyo goes solo and if this isn't one of the best psych records I've heard all year. Rich in texture and depth, it has that motorik electronic sound pulsating in the background, the hum and drone of horns with analog textures and chant-like vocals building layers of billowing rhythmic melodies. 

Go Kurosawa is multi-instrumentalist, producer, and co-founder of the independent label Guruguru Brain. Best known as drummer of Kikagaku Moyo, Go has spent the past decade building bridges between east and west, sound and silence, rock and ritual. soft shakes is something different—his first solo album, made entirely by himself, and made mostly for fun.
Go has a rare kind of musical instinct: he can play anything, hears everything, and still doesn’t take himself too seriously. For a long time, solo music wasn’t even part of the plan—after years in a band, it felt strange. Music, to him, was something to do together. Over time—while traveling, collecting instruments, and eventually setting up Guruguru Brain studio in Rotterdam—he started jamming alone. Slowly, it grew.
What comes is playful, layered, rhythmic, and surprising. Just like Go.
