Go Kurosawa :: Soft Shakes

The post-Kikagaku Moyo universe expands with the release of soft shakes, the solo debut from Go Kurosawa, the disbanded Japanese quintet’s drummer and vocalist. The second solo release from a member of the now defunct band, following Tomo Katsurada’s Dream of the Egg EP last year, soft shakes finds Kurosawa, who is also a co-founder of the excellent Guruguru Brain label, remaining largely true to his former outfit’s sound while also injecting his own sandcastle style of playful eclecticism.

Tomo Katsurada :: Dream of the Egg

When Kikagaku Moyo surprisingly called it quits a few years back, one naturally anticipated that we’d eventually see new projects (solo or otherwise) trickle out from the uber-talented five piece. Described as a “unique fusion of music and visual art”, the first offering arrives as the debut EP from lead vocalist Tomo Katsurada.
