Genre-Blurring Voice Go Kurosawa Brings Hypnotic Three-Song Set to Live on KEXP

Go Kurosawa turned the KEXP studio into something spellbinding. Recorded April 6, 2026, the live session captures the multi-instrumentalist and vocalist (also handling cornet and percussion) leading a five-piece through three patient, atmospheric pieces: “autowalk,” “moon, please,” and “sada no umi.” Ben Hackett adds vocals, wind instruments, and keys, with Taro Yamazaki on bass, Ross McReynolds on drums and percussion, and Rich Ruth on guitar, the players locking into textures that build and breathe across each track. Hosted by Cheryl Waters, the performance is a quietly commanding showcase of a singular musical mind at work.
