Suishou no Fune

**Suishou no Fune** (水晶の舟, meaning "Crystal Ship") is a Japanese experimental psychedelic rock duo formed in Tokyo in the late '90s. The band centers around the haunting vocals and guitar work of Pirako Kurenai (voice, guitar) and Kageo (guitar), who craft mesmerizing, feedback-drenched soundscapes blending elements of noise, drone, and shoegaze. Known for their raw, emotive live performances, they’ve become cult favorites in the underground scene, drawing comparisons to pioneers like Keiji Haino or Les Rallizes Dénudés while carving out their own eerie, meditative vibe.

Over their two-decade career, Suishou no Fune has released a prolific stream of albums and collaborations, including recent works like *Prayer For Chibi* (2020) and *友情 (Yūjō)* (2021), which showcase their signature mix of dissonant guitar textures and poetic, floating vocals. Their music often feels like a cathartic balance between chaos and tranquility, making them a go-to for listeners craving raw, hypnotic sonic journeys.
