Go Kurosawa 'Soft Shakes' LP

Go Kurosawa is multi-instrumentalist, producer, and co-founder of the independent label Guruguru Brain. Best known as drummer of Kikagaku Moyo, Go has spent the past decade building bridges between east and west, sound and silence, rock and ritual. soft shakes is something different—his first solo album, made entirely by himself, and made mostly for fun.

Go has a rare kind of musical instinct: he can play anything, hears everything, and still doesn’t take himself too seriously. For a long time, solo music wasn’t even part of the plan—after years in a band, it felt strange. Music, to him, was something to do together. Over time—while traveling, collecting instruments, and eventually setting up Guruguru Brain studio in Rotterdam—he started jamming alone. Slowly, it grew.

What comes is playful, layered, rhythmic, and surprising. Just like Go.
