However they take their inspiration not from the flower power of the sixties but the groove of the seventies. The light hearted pop of the seventies with a dash of psychedelic tones is the vibe Kuroma is going for. \u201cLove is On the Way\u201d has a very catchy guitar riff and groove. The vocals sound a bit like King Tuff. My favorite track on the album \u201cRunning People\u201d sounds like a nod to Todd Rundgren with a touch of The Knack. The album is a fun listen but nothing particularly stands out. The band is touring with Tame Impala (&lt;3) this summer. Play this album when you&#8217;re looking for some lighthearted jamz on a hot summer day.<br \/>\n<b><br \/>\nRecommended If You Like: King Tuff, MGMT (Hank Sullivant is the guitarist in this band), Foxygen<br \/>\nRecommended Tracks: 3 (Love Is On the Way), 2 (Running People), 1 (20+Centuries), 5 (Passionate People)<br \/>\nDo Not Play: 6 (Simon&#8217;s In the Jungle), 8 (Case Logic)<br \/>\nWritten by Emilie Stafford on 05\/11\/2015 <\/b><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Kuroma does psych pop differently with vibes from the groove of the seventies.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":920,"featured_media":34112,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[181],"tags":[3090,3091],"class_list":["post-34111","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-rock-rotation","tag-kuroma","tag-kuromarama"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/kjhk.org\/web\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/kuroma_kuromarama.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/kjhk.org\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/34111","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/kjhk.org\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/kjhk.org\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kjhk.org\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/920"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kjhk.org\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=34111"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/kjhk.org\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/34111\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kjhk.org\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/34112"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/kjhk.org\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=34111"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kjhk.org\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=34111"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kjhk.org\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=34111"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
