KISHI! cinema opens with a sense of disorientation, shifting quickly between dreamy, contemplative beats and sharper, more abrupt transitions that test listener patience but also reward it. The instrumentals stand out as the album’s greatest strength: intricate, emotionally resonant, and capable of evoking vivid mental landscapes even in the absence of vocals. Some tracks, however, linger too long in their motifs, repeating ideas in ways that can feel redundant rather than meditative. Still, there are moments of real beauty — when the production opens up, offering space and subtle variation, the album truly glimmers. In the end, KISHI! cinema is a compelling listen for those drawn to experimental hip hop that favors mood, texture, and unpredictability over traditional structure.

WHERE IS MY HEAD? finds Rich Brian in a deeply introspective and artistically expansive space, weaving hip hop foundations with psych-pop, folk guitars, trap beats, and lush string flourishes that underscore his evolving sonic ambition. The album’s conceptual framework—split between the dreamer (Movie Brian) and the orchestrator (Maestro Brian)—adds layered narrative depth, guiding the listener through themes of identity, dislocation, and emotional awakening. Featured collaborators bring rich contrast, from Toro y Moi’s summery soul to Ski Mask The Slump God’s brisk turn, balancing introspection with vibrant energy. Standout tracks like “Senja” and “Timezones” cut with storytelling precision and emotional clarity, while the surreal humor Rich Brian is known for now sits tightly entwined with newfound maturity and vulnerability.
