With vocals that are somewhat inorganic yet trippy, this album blends elements of classic electronic music and post-punk while carrying on the spirit of 1960s and 1970s Japanese psychedelic rock! This is the first full-length studio album by HEAVENPHETAMINE, a Japanese band originally from Tokyo and currently based in Tbilisi. Be sure to pay attention to the lyrics, which blend the band’s unique worldview with words that only they—having faced the chaos of war in real time—can express. Highly recommended.

Their sound—a mutant evolution of the Japanese psychedelic rock lineage—exudes a unique sense of ecstasy and weightlessness, while incorporating synthesizer sounds that evoke the essence of early electronic and cosmic music. Above all, what deserves special mention is the lyrics and the album’s worldview, born from their daily lives in Georgia and Ukraine—lives thrown into chaos by war. While at times making a direct appeal, the band maintains a unique style of expression. Two Ukrainian musicians also contribute to the album. It’s imbued with the wish for listeners to “dance and feel joy through the music.” The vocalist’s delivery and voice are exquisitely moving and captivating—please savor them to the fullest.
