nnouncing the brand new KUSANAGI single 'Polymorph', OUT TODAY via Ripcord Records. The band is an atmospheric blend of post-rock and math-rock, similar to the likes of Mogwai and Animals As Leaders.
The band have this to say about the single:
"The track was one on the first initial musical ideas that the band worked on and went through a number of different changes to try and capture the right atmosphere and feel that would give the impression to the listener of a morphing structure that was based around one singular melodic phrase that recacured throughout the song which could represent a familiar abstract shape or object."

Kusanagi (Liverpool, UK) was formed in October 2011 and consists of four members, Alan Caulton (guitar), Ben Davis (guitar), Dan Hunt (bass) and Dean Caffery (drums). All members share a common interest in creating music that has been inspired by a variety of different styles and genres from Post Rock, Electronic, Metal, Hip Hop, Synth Wave and Classical.
Kusanagi have always had a strong ethos and vision on how they wanted to contribute to the music scene, which they were positively welcomed into from the early conception of the band. They have played festivals such as like Arctangent, Portals, Effigy, Strange Forms, Threshold, after which they were inspired to create their own local events which gave them the opportunity to collaborate with and help a variety of different artists and bands.
During the writing of PARAMNESIA, it was clear that each individual track that was being written had a unique aesthetic that represented an abstract dream state containing atmospheric style sounds. The album concept was slowly taking shape which was being constantly informed by the music and possible ideas for track titles.
The album is about an abstract dream state that was created by human subconsciousness and could create a link between reality and dreams. The listener would travel between like a sonic dream portal. This concept led to choosing the album title “PARAMNESIA”, the definition of this means “the concept of abstract distorted memories between reality and dreams”.
The third album from Kusanagi entitled “PARAMNESIA” consists of eight full length tracks and will be released on the 30th of May 2025 via the bands bandcamp and Ripcord Records on CD and available to download on all online digital streaming platforms.
