“Spitfire songs…frenzied mishmash of guitars, trombone, assorted Japanese instruments, and Kuroki’s singing — guttural, physical shrieks in her native tongue — bears a manic energy that bleeds into even the ballads. ….engaging in a cross-continental musical scramble while flirting with detonation.”
– The New Yorker
“The Montreal pysch band’s second album plays like the soundtrack to the craziest cult film never made.”
– Brooklyn Vegan
TEKE::TEKE is a wild, cinematic Japanese psych-rock group based in Montreal.
Featuring traditional Japanese instruments, flute and trombone alongside raging guitars and a pulsing rhythm section, TEKE::TEKE creates a sound reminiscent of 1960’s and 70’s era psychedelic Japanese soundtracks, with an experimental approach and a frenetic, modern twist. Their albums Shirushi and Hagata are out now via Kill Rock Stars. They also recently released the soundtrack album Kage No Iro, which they created for the video game Assassin’s Creed: Shadows.
