KUUNATIC is a thrilling tribal / experimental / rock trio bolstered by diverse global
sonics and powerful female vocals. Drawing on the members’ different musical and
cultural perspectives, their music explores ritual drumming, pulsing bass lines,
atmospheric keyboard sounds, and Japanese traditional instruments.

In 2021, they released their debut album “Gate of Klüna” on Glitterbeat Records,
produced by Tim DeWit (Gang Gang Dance). The record garnered widespread
acclaim for its mesmerizing soundworld that transcends genres and hemispheres,
succeeding in being both boldly experimental and wildly catchy. They have
performed across Europe, the UK, and Asia, including appearances at festivals such
as WOMAD, Roskilde Festival, Le Guess Who?, and Levitation France, to name a
few.

They are coming back with their new album “Wheels Of Ömon” in 2025. It places a
stronger emphasis on their musical concept of sci-fi mythology with their stories set
on fictional planets, and using more traditional Japanese instruments. The album will
be released from Glitterbeat Records on 11 April 2025.

KUUNATIC are Fumie Kikuchi on keys and vocals, Yuko Araki on drums and vocals,
Shoko Yoshida on bass and vocals.
