Exotic, romantic, and cathartic: Arthropod is a multi-limbed musical organism of accomplished Californian musicians hailing

Arthropod draws upon a wide array of influences from Middle Eastern folk, Turkish psyche, pre-revolution Persian pop, and even British progressive punk.

All Cali/Mexico electro cumbia reggaeton vibe with some serious girth. Massively catchy. Strangely dark. Completely addicting.

Heavy, exotic, dancey, with massive guitar playing. Middle Eastern party jams from Tell Aviv. They have a Tuba player. And a shark on the cover.

The best band in the world today. Of all of their perfect records, this one is a bit extra perfect. Kısasa Kısas is Turkish pop perfection. Incredible renditions of Turkish rock and folk standards.

Strangely lo-fi with respect to other Kauan albums, and often at complete odds with its predecessor, Kaiho (which only comprised clean vocals). To appreciate Ice Fleet, I approach it like a release from another band – an unknown and mysterious one.
