OWKMJ

There are some bands that seem to slip through the cracks by defying musical categories and creating a totally unique sound universe. This is something that OreWaKonnaMonJanai (Owkmj) has managed to do up until now with their self-described 'natural psychedelic hard brain rock music and low funk' Mixing psychedelic rock with mysterious ambient spaces lends a timeless flavour to their music, while at the same time remaining immediate and captivating. Each song is a journey in itself, with a host of influences giving you a backpacker's view of the road less-hitched. From Moroccan desert themes and solemn pastural melodies to bastard noise-punk from the inner-city, Owkmj covers every inch of the musical terrain with intensity and originality. The members of Owkmj, Kariu Kenji (guitar), Masuda Yuki (keyboards), Adachi Reisaburow (sax, drums), Machida Hitoki (bass) and Takeda Yoshihiko (drums), are involved with an array of other musical projects which filter down into Owkmj's unique sound.
