"...like a gagaku ensemble who have been listening to Sabbath" - The Wire
KUUNATIC er en eksperimentell rocketrio fra Japan, kjent for sitt unike lydbilde med hypnotiske rytmiske mønstre, kraftfulle kvinnelige vokaler og bruk av tradisjonelle japanske instrumenter. Med musikerne fra ulike musikalske og kulturelle bakgrunner skaper trioen en fengslende miks av rituell tromming, pulserende bass og atmosfæriske synther.
Debutalbumet Gate of Klüna (2021), produsert av Tim DeWit (Gang Gang Dance), fikk stor internasjonal oppmerksomhet for sin sjangeroverskridende stil. De har spilt på store festivaler som Roskilde, WOMAD og Le Guess Who?.
Oppfølgeralbumet Wheels of Ömon på Glitterbeat Records er helt nytt, fra april i år. Her utforsker de et sci-fi-univers med historier fra fiktive planeter, og et enda sterkere fokus på japanske tradisjonsinstrumenter.
Bandet består av Fumie Kikuchi (keyboard/vokal), Yuko Araki (trommer/vokal) og Shoko Yoshida (bass/vokal).

Pressen om KUUNATIC
"High concept prog psychedelia from Japanese trio Kuunatic… grumbling psych played on a whirring blender of guitars, synths and traditional Japanese temple instruments, like a gagaku ensemble who have been listening to Sabbath."
— Francis Gooding, The Wire
"The madness hinted at in the band's name expresses itself as propulsive psychedelia, world music transmogrified into other-world music."
— David Honigmann, Financial Times
"Their collective vocals range from punk angst to near recitations of modern sutras and are woven into rhythms that are anchored in traditional Japanese drumming. The soundscape is highly intriguing, ranging from Buddhist sutra chanting of 'Lava Naksh' to the prog-rock vocabulary of 'Raven’s War'."
— Michal Boncza, Morning Star
"An unclassifiable, rough and raw tribal-psych sound that’s as heavy on the chanting as it is on the droning bass and thudding drums… 'Gate of Klüna' is mysterious, boundary-pushing, and challenging – the product born from a group of creative minds that have a fierce commitment to their outlandish vision. The journey through Kuurandia on their debut will fill some with fascination, and others with an uneasiness – exactly as exploring a new world should."
— Oliver Kuscher, The Line of Best Fit
