I asked my Japanese friend what the songs lyrics meant turns out they aren't in any language. They're in complete gibberish. The band members say that they sing whatever noises and sounds the feeling of the song evokes, which allows people to put their own meaning to the song. Such a rad concept, these guys are amazing 🤟🏼
For the record, these guys aren’t better (nor are they worse) than king gizz, they’re different. Gizz could do stuff like this if they wanted to, and km could do gizzish stuff if they wanted to
To everyone who enjoyed this: Start exploring the Japanese Psychedelic scene. It is far more fertile than you may realize and is full of fantastic bands.
@@PandPfreestyle You should be glad I had too much time to do because I've gone above and beyond to be your guide. This post will serve as a guide to some artists I enjoy across a range of sub-genres within the scene. I don't cover them all, but again this is more about giving you a start. But wait... that's not all, I made a Playlist to go with this post! Go to my profile, it's called JPsychPrimer. It contains songs from each of the bands mentioned and has tons for you to chew on! This post will help you know which bands fit into which areas. Asterisks mean they aren't just recommendations, they are personal favorites! The playlist starts with some Japanese Psych-Rock/Psychedelic Hard-Rock. Kikagaku Moyo nominally fit into this category and this is the style that started it all, really. If you like this stuff look up the record label Guruguru Brain. They put out Kikagaku Moyo and Sundays & Cybele and in general are one of your best sources for J-Psych in the West. I capped this section off with my favorite album from the classic era.

Im from Chile and i travelled to Prague 6 days ago. Saw these people by accident and it was like literally watching the Velvet Underground or some shit like that. They just lift the room to a state that i havent seen since seeing Daft Punk like 15 years ago
I’d die to see this in their own backyard. I found them whilst tripping during Covid. Imagine some lovely, amazing and nice things when listening. Showed to so many people and they just don’t dig it. Lots of love. North east of England.
Fuck yeah! I came across these guys a few months back and can't get enough of watching their live performances. s/o to KEX for this sort of content as well! - Dripping Sun is a beautiful song...ありがとう!
Proof positive the entire world is tired of hearing the bull shit that is played on the radio these days! These guys are phenomenal and i would have never heard of them if it were not for this channel, thank you KEXP!
Hey Kikagaku Moyo, about the recordings and enunciations.....I remember them insisting persistently and I was terribly afraid that it would be found to be offensive....the person kept insisting and I was like ok if they can see it in the fun context.......*sigh*...hope all is well with you

except for Nazo Nazo, the only one with lyrics
Cool!! They’re scatting!
Holy fuck
Ever listen to cocteau twins? Beautiful vocalist, same idea. The voice more as a pure instrument
Kind of like Sigur Ros
I swear these guys are Japan's answer to King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard. They are phenomenal.
KM are far more talented. I say this as a fervent gizz fan and collector, and having seen both. They're in different leagues.
Much better than King Gizzard.
For the record, these guys aren’t better (nor are they worse) than king gizz, they’re different. Gizz could do stuff like this if they wanted to, and km could do gizzish stuff if they wanted to
KM are way better, don't compare them to king lizard
@@koronas26 go easy mate. Let’s go with different, not better

@@PandPfreestyle I'm working on something special for you... give me just a lil more time :)

Kaye PlagueDoc Ok, wow, thanks so much for the list!! I have a lot of listening to do! Pretty excited, because I’m loving it so far. Thanks again!
@@kayeplaguedoc9054 You're the best. Looking for something exactly like this, after discovering this song. Keep posting, if you're able! Thanks
Stuff like this is why we need to keep funding public radio. Thanks for bringing these guys on! Love their new album!
I too, heard them from public radio right around the time you posted this. Orlando?
I just can't get enough of the sitar at 5:40 , it's just spellbinding

5:50 Never realized this part was all sitar. Wow. Makes me love it even more.
Holy shit me neither
I wish these guys all the success they can handle.
this was so good to trip
I just found this and am obsessed! Mark my words, I WILL see them live on the final tour!!!
did you see them? they were magical.. wish they weren't breaking up!!!
@@wajhizaidi6703 yea, saw them last Thursday! One of the best shows I’ve ever seen, probably top 2
I got to watch these guys play at Washington Hall in Seattle and it was so great.
Sounds for the soul ~*
Envolvente.
Gran performance, está demasiado heavy.
Espero pronto vengan a 🇲🇽.
Los espero igual bro!
Hipnosis los va a traer ✨
Increíble su presentación en el Hipnosis

This style of music with power cords endless 🎉
Penampilan yang sangat luar biasa, saya sampai menahan nafas menjelang berakhirnya set ini. Gila!
🇮🇩
iamachine92 mereka mau main di sondrenaline bali, september besok
Have only recently discovered these guys.....so very happy KEXP has been able to get them in and produce another fine in-house performance.
日本で好きな音楽やってる人たち見つけた👍
このバンドカッコいいわ
70年代のサイケまんまだよ👍
ベトナム戦争当時の映像のBGMと差し替えても気づかない人いると思うな
Saw KM in Birmingham . Me and my gig buddy took a punt - we hadn't heard of them before . That gamble really paid off - what a treat !
Fuck yeah! I came across these guys a few months back and can't get enough of watching their live performances. s/o to KEX for this sort of content as well! - Dripping Sun is a beautiful song...ありがとう!
Thank you very much KEXP!
I've been waiting for this on KEXP live session!
Lovely tones from the vocalist
It’s like CAN came back to live with these guys!
Immediately my thought
Dem flatwounds tho!! Loved the bass.
Gasp! These fellows are great!
Удивительная музыка отзывается далёке 70-80е если даже не раньше
6:48 💖

Sublime 🙏🎶🤞💖
Just gonna throw it out there but George Harrison would probably dig this 👍🏻
Love this, they should tour with My Morning Jacket.
I listen to NPR just to randomly hear music like this.
Arigatou gozaimasu
Hare Hare Bhol!
Proof positive the entire world is tired of hearing the bull shit that is played on the radio these days! These guys are phenomenal and i would have never heard of them if it were not for this channel, thank you KEXP!
I love it 😍💞
HIPNOSIS 2019! 🙌🏽
inolvidablemente brutal
After the intro, I'm waiting for Sandy Denny to sing "A Sailor's Life" . . .
i love it !!!!
A cena psicodélica ainda respira (e forte)
Is that a specially modified Sitar? I always wanted to play a Sitar standing up!
woooooooooW!!
❤️
4:32
Omg yes!!
great band love them so much
Who TF disliked this!!
minna kaminagaijamakusai kire kusuri
sometimes gibberish makes so much sense.
uhh
So now we know what Samurais do after they retire from cutting people to pieces, they make incredible music
Bro what?
😵😵
Dreamland drop but irl
Ситар в качестве электрогитары имеет большой потенциал

Japanese pink floyd!!!???
Intro sounds like tame impala songs
What's the lyrics :D ??
Hit Monkey brought me here
Idk why, but they look like they just use pantene shampoo and swore never to cut their hair again
Gatsby definitely hate them as Pantene looked suitable with their hairstyle.
