Our Take

Who would have thought that combining the musical prowess of Japan's Tatsuya Yoshida (of Acid Mothers Temple) and Pikacyu (of Afrirampo) would result in a cosmic explosion of sound and energy like Galaxilympics? This album takes you on a mind-bending journey through space and time, with each track offering a unique blend of psychedelic noise, krautrock rhythms, and experimental tones.

From the opening track "Nagadelic" to the closing opus "Tsunmos," PIKACYU MAKOTO's Galaxilympics is a wild ride that refuses to let you catch your breath. The frenetic drums and distorted guitar riffs are complemented perfectly by Pikacyu's ethereal vocals, creating a sound that is both chaotic and mesmerizing.

Tracks like "Splendor Monster" and "Biboho" showcase the duo's ability to seamlessly blend elements of punk, shoegaze, and electronic music into a cohesive sonic tapestry. The production on this album is top-notch, with each instrument and vocal track crystal clear and perfectly balanced.

Galaxilympics is an album that demands to be played at maximum volume, as its dense layers of sound reveal new intricacies with each listen. PIKACYU MAKOTO have created a truly otherworldly listening experience that is sure to leave you spellbound. Strap in, turn up the volume, and prepare to be transported to a galaxy far, far away. Trust us, you won't want to come back.
