"Sky Fish Fly" is the latest album from kazaizen, a vibrant exploration of sound that spans psychedelic rock, alternative soul, and experimental pop. A moving dreamscape, the thirteen-track album recalls various psyches of time and space within its soothing atmospheres and captivatingly groove-heavy psychedelia.
One of the standout tracks is "State of Mind," where the shoegaze soundscapes rise into a wall-like layer, creating an immersive haze. We also hear spacey soul vibes in "Beyond the Stars," while "Somewhere Something's Waiting" offers more standard progressive jazz-synth tools to push your mind into new spaces.
"Mr. Musk" has a playful chaos that brings us encounters with extraterrestrial life, mixing humor, psychedelia, and storytelling. Tracks like "Nanoo Nanoo," "Make It Love," and "What's the Meaning Self" deliver city pop energy, jazz-inspired grooves, and a psychedelic soul sound that feels like twirling in an endless flow of vivid colors.
With a runtime of 35 minutes, "Sky Fish Fly" offers kazaizen an opportunity to position himself as a notable new voice in contemporary experimental music that explores the limits of sound design. The majestic unpredictability of the album's flow gives it a detail that makes the whole experience rewarding to listen to again and again, discovering new elements each time.
kazaizen is one of those acts that always comes across with rock-solid creative direction, experimental pop sensibilities, psychedelic rock energy, and alternative soul warmth. "Sky Fish Fly" is an album that rewards listening, patience, and curiosity, and it really stands out in modern experimental music. This album is a daring and striking addition to kazaizen's design DNA.
