Kainalu "Lotus Gate" CD
This is tropical psychedelic rock!
"KAINALU", the solo project by singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Trent Prall, who has Japanese-Hawaiian roots, will release a CD exclusively in Japan!
A must-listen for this futuristic crossover sound that combines cool, tropical psychedelic sounds featuring synths with electric funk created by retro live drums and bass in an exquisite balance!
"KAINALU" is a solo project by singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Tret Prall from Madison, Wisconsin, USA. As the project name means "wave" in Hawaiian, it has a gentle and tropical atmosphere and uses Chinese characters in the artwork, and has Japanese-Hawaiian roots. However, it also has a borderless style that is a crossover of groovy drum and bass band sounds, as if influenced by the prestigious soul and black music label MOTOWN. Since releasing his EP "Bloom Lagoon" in 2017, he has steadily spread his name through online media, and in 2018 he was selected as one of the "40 Underground Music Showcases You Can't Miss" by the US culture and lifestyle web media "303 MAGAZINE." In 2019, singles "Finding Peace of Mind" and "Folds Like Origami" from his first album "Lotus Gate" reached number one on the charts of US music blog aggregator site "Hype Machine," which features artists of the internet generation. He is a next-generation artist who is attracting attention all over the world, having been aired on radio in Australia, Mexico, and Paris, and charting on iTunes in Mexico, Portugal, and Brazil.
