Our Take

KAWABATA / PINHAS / MUJICA / PEREIRA / HIGASHI have teamed up to bring us their latest offering, Alturas. This supergroup of experimental musicians brings a diverse range of influences to the table, creating a truly unique listening experience.

From the moment the first track kicks in, you are transported to another dimension. The psychedelic soundscape draws you in, enveloping you in a cocoon of otherworldly melodies. Each musician's contribution adds layers to the sonic tapestry, creating a mesmerising blend of electronic and organic sounds.

KAWABATA's intricate guitar work weaves seamlessly with PINHAS' ethereal synth lines, while MUJICA's hypnotic rhythms keep the listener on their toes. PEREIRA's dynamic basslines provide a solid foundation for HIGASHI's cosmic keyboard flourishes, making Alturas a truly collaborative effort.

Despite the complexity of the music, Alturas never feels overwhelming. The seamless transitions between tracks keep the listener engaged from start to finish, with each song building upon the last to create a cohesive and immersive listening experience.

In a musical landscape where conformity reigns supreme, KAWABATA / PINHAS / MUJICA / PEREIRA / HIGASHI stand out as true visionaries, pushing the boundaries of what is possible in the world of experimental music. Alturas is a triumph of creativity and collaboration, and a must-listen for any music lover looking to expand their horizons.
