Japanese folk fusion quartet Mitsune delivers a breathtaking
25-minute continuous concept album – a "forbidden sound journey"
bridging tradition and psychedelic experimentation. Comprising two
shamisen player/vocalists, a contrabassist, and a percussionist, the
ensemble weaves Tsugaru shamisen roots with Khaleeji rhythms,
Indian raga, prog, jazz, and cinematic soundscapes. Recorded live
to tape at Brewery Studios in Berlin and sculpted into wild,
transcendent dimensions by producers Adam Sait and Pascal
Karier, the album reflects deeply on human existence, nature, and
transience.
