As previously featured in our digital columns, UK progressive/post-rock outfit Kusanagi’s highly anticipated new album ‘PARAMNESIA’ is officially out now on all digital streaming platforms and in physical CD format via Ripcord Records.
Following the release of their electrifying singles “Polymorph,” “Residual,” and “Parallax Error,” the Liverpool-based instrumental quartet now unveil the full scope of their boldest work to date. ‘PARAMNESIA’ is more than an album—it’s a sprawling, cinematic journey through fragmented memories and emotional mirage, where post-rock meets math-rock in a deeply immersive and meticulously crafted experience.
From start to finish, ‘PARAMNESIA’ showcases Kusanagi at their most adventurous: layers of intricate guitar work, pulsing rhythmic interplay, and a dynamic range that moves seamlessly from delicate introspection to seismic intensity. The album’s narrative unfolds without a single lyric, yet speaks volumes—building emotional tension through carefully sculpted sound design and unrelenting momentum.
Described as a “hauntingly beautiful disintegration of memory through sound,” the record has already been praised for its technical ambition and emotive depth. Touching on influences from Mogwai’s expansive landscapes to the off-kilter time signatures of Battles—with flashes of Animals As Leaders’ structural complexity, Deftones-like atmospheres, and the euphoric energy of And So I Watch You From Afar—Kusanagi retain their identity while pushing their compositional boundaries further than ever before.
Released on Ripcord Records—home to other boundary-pushing acts like Codespeaker, Demersal, Maridia or Partholón—‘PARAMNESIA’ cements Kusanagi’s place at the forefront of the UK’s experimental prog/rock scene.
Whether you’re a longtime follower or a newcomer to their sound, now is the time to immerse yourself in the full sonic world of ‘PARAMNESIA’.
