About the Artist

Acid Mothers Temple & The Melting Paraiso U.F.O., founded in 1995 by Makoto Kawabata, is a Japanese psychedelic rock collective renowned for its cosmic and improvisational live performances. With a rotating lineup that solidified over decades, their sound is an intense, swirling journey through spacey drones, fiery guitar work, and experimental noise, conjuring an otherworldly experience that fans describe as both hypnotic and euphoric. This 'mothership' ensemble has released some 80 albums and toured extensively worldwide, collaborating with legendary psychedelic artists, sustaining a reputation for transcendent live jams that blur the lines between chaos and cosmic harmony. Their legendary 2016 shift to a 'Next Generation' lineup marked a turning point, reaffirming their commitment to exploration—an ever-evolving odyssey resisting stagnation like a star refusing to burn out.
