Keys of Perception

Keys of Perception is a latin psychedelic rock/krautrock band founded in December 2014 in Vienna, Austria by the mexican-german Aida de Acosta. De Acosta is the only member of the band.

Musical Style
The band itself describes the style they play as latin psychedelic rock, because many songs contain percussion that is considered typical for latin music such as salsa or samba combined with distorted guitar sounds, delay and reverb used very often in psychedelic rock. Although the mayority of the songs are instrumentals, there are also some songs with lyrics like "Maya" featured on the album "Mirrors of Maya" released in 2016 on the austrian label Aorta. Other songs containing lyrics are "Five rusty horses" a cover version of Marilyn Manson's "Four rusted horses", the song "Libertad" containing samples of an interview with Ernesto "Che" Guevara, a song about the effects chocolate has on human consciousness named "Xocolatl" after the aztec god of chocolate and a song about the civil war in El Salvador in the 1980s called "San Salvador 1980".

In the first days of the band, the sound of their music was much more electronic with heavy emphasis on keyboard sounds. The lyrics were not political but more influenced by eastern religion and philosophy.

The band is currently working on new material.
