Kyoshi - Kyoshi (2021)

Kyoshi, our debut album, is a reflection of self and explores how humans are reflections of the universe around us.

Throughout the two years of almost entirely self-producing this album, we laid out our emotions and lives for the music, dedicated to this collection of songs that embody themes of healing, nature, heartbreak, the female spirit and the joyous unpredictability of being human.

Recording and producing this record was a place of solace for us, a time to listen to deep within ourselves and the synth-crazed, psychedelic soul jungle, which at times broke us and also filled us with love and joy.

Like the opening of a valley, the album welcomes you with sounds of rain and birds, foreshadowing the textural odyssey that is to come. Throughout the duration of Kyoshi you’ll hear otherworldly space funk jams, to heart-rending honey drenched soul, right round to psychedelic trips through smoke and shade to where the rings of Saturn spin and dance like grooves of a record.

Kyoshi features close friends of the band Kiyanosh, Ms.Thandi and Charbel, as well as KOOL A.D. A new friend from across the globe. The album's closing composition travels to many different places in itself, recapitulating the music like one's late night reflections of the day.
