Karaganda by Binturong

"Karaganda" is not an album about a city — it’s a journey across a desert of sound.
Psychedelic desert metal collides with absurd folk tales and steppe mythology: a horse in a coat, a grandfather named Pikhto, a hedgehog who knows too much.

The record flows like a trip: from drone-like mirages and playful absurdity to meditative jams, chaotic bursts, and an epic wall of sound in the finale, Abai. Every track is alive with layers, textures, and unexpected turns — the music breathes like the steppe itself.

It’s equal parts ritual, jam, and hallucination. Light a fire, get lost in the horizon, and let Karaganda guide you where logic stops and imagination begins.
