Lyric

Iron D**k

Tohji, Loota, Brodinski

歯を食い縛る鉄の味

無表情な仮面の中身

油差す軋む錆

歯車回り出すマシーン

あそぶ 友達 1人2人 増えてったり

はぐれたり 出会う2人

ちがうなんて言わせない 鉄の味

Iron D**k

差し込むプラグ マイナスが繋がるプラス 骨と皮

真っ暗闇 ゼンマイ仕掛け オレンジカラーの光が射す

回り回る君の横顔から目が離せない

夜が明けるまで鍵が閉まったままの玉手箱

回りまわる 鉄の身体マリオネット

また彼方から日の出 朝方廃墟で寝て

とうにいない人出

手のひらかざす ヒトデ

鉄の味の廃墟で

2人タバコを吸ってって

あそぶ 友達 1人2人 増えてったり

はぐれたり 出会う2人

ちがうなんて言わせない 鉄の味

Iron D**k

Put it in your mouth 苦い鉄の味

前と後ろ 君と二人

まだ足りない 回すつまみ

前と後ろ 喘ぐ二人

    Outro

    Tohji, Loota, Brodinski

The factory's decayed, but Tohji, Loota & Brodinski
are still smelting dreams. This is Chamber Music for the post-industrial decay.
'KUUGA' sees the trio of Tohji, Loota & Brodinski enter 2021 with a collection of hymn-like rap meets club mutations. Following a 2020 which saw Tohji dive into ambient soundscapes with tracks such as 'Oreo' and 'propella', and collaborations with the likes of Mura Masa, Bloodz Boi and Malibu, 'KUUGA' is an evolution of his current aesthetic and sound exploration. This time, Tohji ventures from the depths of the sea to Japan's vast mountain ranges where the serenity of nature and industrial insanity exist side by side.
The release of 'KUUGA' will be accompanied by two guerilla parties in warehouses at the margins of Tokyo and Osaka, where the project will be performed in its entirety. Amidst forgotten machines in the middle of rural landscape, Tohji & Loota will debut the entire audiovisual concept.
After 'Intro', 'KUUGA' announces itself with 'Yodaka' - flitting between acapella incantations and 808s that land like a plane. 'TOB' is all stuttering distortion swagger, as Tohji's and Loota's falsetto hymns lay forth the album's manifesto. 'Naked' sees acid synth lines snake in and out of back-and-forth vocal shadowboxing, before 'Oni' brings us back to the Chamber, as vocal chants layer over and over before collapsing on a Baile-funk induced breakdown. 'Iron Dick' lumbers into view - propelling itself with monk-like determination. 'Err Day' whirrs into view - channeling a doomsday Aaliyah, before 'Outro' closes the album.
Having amassed critical momentum in Japan, Tohji has set his crosshairs firmly on the World in 2021. 'KUUGA' is just the first page in a tapestry of sonic experimentation, as Tohji unfolds his vision this year.
