Kikagaku Moyo and Ryley Walker Deep Fried Grandeur
Kikagaku Moyo and Ryley Walker Deep Fried Grandeur is a one time improvisational live performance with the members of Kikagaku Moyo and Ryley Walker and his band. The album is breath taking with beautiful instrumentation cosmic sitars and brilliant percussion. The sound is unlike anything either band has produced on their own. This special and limited edition release is a special treasure for fans of Kikagaku Moyo and Ryley Walker.
Kikagaku Moyo and Ryley Walker Deep Fried Grandeur is two 20 minute songs that sprawl and build slowly. The stream of consciousness performance is high art The blending of instruments is balanced and clear. Astounding that with so many musicians on stage they were able to produce such an incredible sound with no rehearsal. the various musicians listen deeply to one another and no one musician pushes the others instead they work as a unit with uncanny sense of balance.
Kikagaku Moyo and Ryley Walker has an exotic sound with the sitar being forward in the mix. The guitars create echoing texture in the background and the percussionists softly and slowly build the rhythm. the dual bass players manage to move in concert. The album is instrumental with no vocals.
Deep Fried Grandeur has the classic echo wah wah guitar sound that Kikagaku Moyo provides. There are fuzz guitars, spacious atmospheric backdrops and viola. the music builds and strips down with precision timing that is telepathically communicated.
Kikagaku Moyo and Ryley Walker Deep Fried Grandeur was recorded live at Le Guess Who? Festival in Utrecht, Netherlands in 2018. the band consisted of Ryley Walker, Brian Sulpizio, Frank Rosaly, Andrew Scott Young, Go Kurosawa, Tomo Katsurada, Kotsuguy, Daoud Popal and Ryu Kurosawa. The mix and master was done by Cooper Crain of CAVE and Bitchin’ Bajas. The mixing process must have helped to make the wall of sound more palletable and to enhance the brillance that occurred.
Kikagaku Moyo and Ryley Walker Deep Fried Grandeur is a dream come true for krautrock fans and is very awesome to listen to. You must listen and get a copy if they are not already gone!!
