Acid Mothers Temple & The Melting Paraiso U.F.O. is a Japanese psychedelic rock collective founded in 1995 by guitarist Kawabata Makoto. Known for their sprawling, improvisational performances and prolific output, the group blends elements of space rock, acid rock, and experimental music into a cosmic, often chaotic sonic journey. Their music frequently nods to 1960s and 70s psychedelic influences, but with a distinctly avant-garde edge that has earned them a cult following around the world.
The band operates more like a collective than a traditional group, with a fluid lineup that has included numerous members over the years, though Kawabata remains the driving force. Acid Mothers Temple is also known for its many offshoots and related projects, each offering different flavors of their experimental approach. Whether releasing surreal concept albums or embarking on mind-bending live tours, they continue to push boundaries and defy genre conventions with a freewheeling, cosmic spirit.
