From the archive: qujaku "KEIREN" live video

Qujaku

Japanese heavy psychedelic rock band qujaku released the official video for "KEIREN" on their YouTube channel in June 2016. The track appears on their self-titled debut album from 2016 via Guruguru Brain. The video captures the Shizuoka-based quartet — known for their intense, distortion-heavy live sound — performing the nearly 13-minute epic that builds from hypnotic krautrock grooves into a wall of feedback-laden psychedelia. Directed and filmed by Sachiko Fukuda with editing by Soushi Mizuno, the footage documents the band in their element at a Tokyo venue. qujaku's blend of heavy psych, acid rock, and noise-drenched improvisation has made them a cornerstone of the contemporary Japanese underground scene, alongside peers like Kikagaku Moyo and Minami Deutsch. This archive selection highlights a seminal live document from a band that continues to push the boundaries of Japanese psychedelic rock.
