Kikagaku Moyo - Mammatus Clouds (2020)

 

The third album from this band from Japan.

The band was a quintet with a lineup of drums, percussion, bass, guitars, sitar and vocals.

I have quite liked this band's blend of psych rock, raga rock and space rock on their first two albums. So I was looking forward to review this album too.

This album is clocking in at fifty minutes. The album is a break with their past, their first two albums.

This album is a space rock album with sitar as the dominant instrument.

There are one or two minutes with vocals, make that a voice here. The rest of the music is pure instrumental space rock.

Their take on space rock is at times gentle while it is pretty harsh and brutal at the end of the album.

The music has a great Indian and Eastern Asian feel and ambience. The music is also appealing and good.

This is an album space rock fans should check out.
