YUYAKESHIWASU, the Tokyo-based artist and anagram of Yusuke Hayashi, is sharing his latest track, “The Earthly Desires Temple,” from his third full-length album Rock’n’Roll Cult, is a bold sonic experiment that takes listeners on an otherworldly journey. Lyrically, it tells the bizarre and captivating tale of monks ditching their traditional paths, dancing in clubs, and joining rock bands—blurring the lines between spiritual devotion and earthly pleasures. The track channels the avant-garde chaos of Captain Beefheart with the hypnotic, rhythmic pulse of Can, creating a psychedelic soundscape infused with classic 60s vibes.

Musically, it’s a 28-track trip that transcends the boundaries of time and space, capturing Yuyakeshiwasu’s signature fusion of retro and modern rock. With hypnotic beats, distorted riffs, and surreal storytelling, "The Earthly Desires Temple beckons those tuned into its frequency to connect with something beyond the ordinary. It’s a spiritual, rebellious, and unapologetically weird anthem that further cements Yuyakeshiwasu as the enigmatic rock 'n' roll cult leader he’s evolved into on this album.
