Our Take

USAISAMONSTER's latest album, Amikwagin, is a wild and unpredictable journey through the sonic wilderness. With influences ranging from punk to psychedelia to experimental noise, this duo has crafted a sound that is uniquely their own.

The opening track, "Mystical Rock Opera," sets the tone for the album with its soaring guitar riffs and frenetic drumming. It's a bold statement of intent that grabs the listener's attention from the get-go.

Throughout the album, USAISAMONSTER explore themes of nature, spirituality, and the human experience. Tracks like "Tree of Life" and "Shamanic Ritual" showcase the band's ability to create immersive and evocative sonic landscapes that transport the listener to otherworldly realms.

But it's not all serious introspection - there are plenty of moments of levity and humor sprinkled throughout the album. The infectious energy of tracks like "Dance of the Yeti" and "Alien Funk" will have you grooving along in no time.

Amikwagin is not an easy listen - it demands your full attention and rewards repeat listens. But for those willing to take the journey, USAISAMONSTER have crafted an album that is a true sonic adventure. Strap in, turn up the volume, and let Amikwagin take you on a wild ride. This is music that defies classification and demands to be heard. Don't sleep on USAISAMONSTER - they are a force to be reckoned with in the world of experimental music.
