Formed on the coast of Enoshima, a small island found in Tokyo, Maya Ongaku is one of the most fascinating projects of the new Japanese psychodelia.The trio — featuring Tsutomu Sonoda, Ryota Takano and Shoei Ikeda — mixes improvisation, minimalism, cosmic folk and psychodélic ambient in songs that seem to have been suspended forever.On his debut, "Approach to Anima" (Guruguru Brain), was recorded spontaneously while living in a small vintage house near the sea where they work and spend most of their time.There they developed their own language: sinuous bass lines, hipnotic guitars, wind instruments floating over minimal percussions and a constant sensation of tranquil but disturbing exploration.Searched for in the universe of Kikagaku Moyo and also published by Guruguru Brain, Maya Ongaku embodies psychodelia more as a space of pursuit than in a certain genre.Music to lose the nuisance of time and look a little more at what is evident.
