Excerpt: “Unknown Knowns seems blissfully unaware of the anticipation that surrounds it; Mukaizake sound like a band that don’t feel they have anything to prove, whose humble goal is nothing more than to write and record the best possible songs they can, expectations be damned. Unknown Knowns more than lives up to the promise of its predecessor. These six songs are everything the band’s patient fans could have asked for, as well as being strong enough to introduce Mukaizake to a whole new audience.”

Mess and Noise

More praise late last week for Mukaizake on Mess and Noise. Six years they lay dormant, though they have more than managed to live up to expectations, and then some, with their new mini-album Unknown Knowns.

Excerpt: “The first thought that comes to mind listening to ‘Rainbirds’ is the joys of winter and Christmas bells. The sound is sparkling pure, like dancing snowflakes on a beautiful cold and sun touched winter’s day.”
