{"product_id":"kuunatic_gate-of-kluna_2021_mdl","title":"Gate Of Klüna","description":"Kuunatic is a Tokyo-based all-female psychedelic tribal music trio driven by diverse sounds and powerful voices. Drawing on each member's cultural and musical background, their music incorporates ritualistic percussion, bouncy bass lines, atmospheric keyboard sounds, and traditional Japanese instruments. Produced by Tim DeWit (Gang Gang Dance), Gate of Klüna is an experimental yet captivating debut album that transcends genres and hemispheres. Kuunatic consists of Fumie Kikuchi on keyboards, Yuko Arako on drums, and Shoko Yoshida on bass. All three also sing. Creating your own world has many advantages. Time and space can be bent to the creator's will. Kuunatic's musical concept is imaginative. Their first EP, Kuurandia, is the name of the fictional planet they inhabit. That was a prologue, and this debut album is a concept album about how the planet was created, evolved, and how they explored it. It consists of eight songs, and each tells a story. They like to mix and experiment with everything they see, hear, experience, and think, not only in Japan but also elsewhere, to create this unique world. It is advisable to keep an open mind when listening to Kuunatic's music, which seems to generate many reactions around the world. Some hear hybrid and psychedelic echoes of bands like Os Mutantes, Basil Kirchin, The Raincoats, or Manfred Hübler. With traditional Japanese music being part of the band's environment, others see them as amplified versions of miko, young women serving a Shinto shrine. The track \"Lava Naksh\" evokes a form of Renaissance dance, the pavane, but with the early organ sounds of Kraftwerk. \"Full Moon Spree\" could be a ritualistic version of The Fall's \"What You Need.\" \"Raven's War\" sounds like a dry and dusty progressive soundtrack. The possibilities for projections are endless, but one must remember Alan Watts' old advice: the menu is not the meal, and the map is not the territory!","brand":"Kuunatic","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55311872622936,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0898\/4943\/0360\/files\/4030433611715.jpg?v=1760405260","url":"https:\/\/vinyles.com\/en-us\/products\/kuunatic_gate-of-kluna_2021_mdl","provider":"Vinyles.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
