Kusanagi - Paramnesia (2025)
Kusanagi’s Paramnesia is an immersive instrumental journey that blends the intricate technicality of math-rock with the expansive atmospheres of post‑rock, weaving together swirling guitars, shifting time signatures, and dynamic crescendos that evoke the hazy terrain between dreams and memories. From the precise off‑kilter rhythms of “Night Symmetry” through the spiraling melodies of “Polymorph” and the haunting ambience of “In Sleep We Heal,” each track unfolds like a lucid reverie, building tension and releasing it in lush, cathartic swells. The album deepens its emotional resonance with ethereal layers and occasional electronics, as heard in “Equilibria” and “Physics of Colour,” creating moments of both delicate calm and gripping intensity. While its focus on mood and texture can sometimes lean toward one-note, the band's meticulous craft and the strong second half keep listeners deeply engaged. Ultimately, Paramnesia offers a thoughtful, rewarding listening experience—a deeply felt, cerebral exploration of memory’s distortions and the haunting beauty of instrumental storytelling.
