Qujaku

Qujaku are one of those rare Japanese bands who manage to sound both cavernous and claustrophobic at the same time. Their music moves in great heaving waves of drone, distortion and bass weight, but never feels ponderous; there’s a deliberate, hypnotic intensity to it, as if every phrase is being slowly carved out of noise. On stage they’re even more engulfing, building an atmosphere that feels ritualistic rather than performative, with vocals drifting through the mix like distant warnings. They sit comfortably alongside the darker fringes of noise rock and psychedelic minimalism, yet remain unmistakably their own thing – heavy, immersive, and uncommonly committed to mood.
