Album Summary

Kikagaku Moyo (Japanese: 幾何学模様, Hepburn: Kikagaku Moyō) were a Japanese psychedelic rock band founded in Tokyo and active from 2012 to 2022. Kikagaku Moyo (幾何学模様, Kikagaku Moyō) translates to “geometric patterns”, which the drummer Go Kurosawa suggested as a band name after getting visuals caused by sleep deprivation during a long jam session at night. In a 2014 interview with the It’s Psychedelic Baby! magazine, Go recalls the moment at which he came up with the name: "It means geometric patterns, which I saw on the back of my eyelids after jamming all night long. I was totally in the “zone”, half awake and half asleep, but my hands were tapping the drums involuntarily. Tomo and I both wanted to have a Japanese name with Kanji characters, so it was decided pretty quickly."
