KUFUKI is Pop Psychedelic trio consists of Konno(Electronics), Saito(Analog Synthesizer), Tosimasa(Vocal) from Tokyo, Japan.
Their music is constructed using tribal rhythms around the world + vintage tones of the KORG analog synth MS-10 + laid back vocals which brings an overwhelming feeling of joy and comfort that makes you wonder about the universe, or your parents – recalling all those things that you love, leaving you with plain happiness.
The field recordings inserted between the tracks are messages from their friends all around the world saying “I love KUFUKI” with their national languages, and also a field recording document of the cheerful Japanese summer festival.
Neil Campbell (Vibracathedral Orchestra, Sunroof!, Astral Social Club) is also a big fan of their music and instantly provided 2 remixes for them which one is included in this album and the other uploaded on this Wonderyou label’s Soundcloud page.
Mastering was done by the world famous Japanese drone artist, Chihei Hatakeyama.
