About TEKE::TEKE
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 their soundtrack
album Kage No Iro they created for the video game Assassin's
Creed:Shadows.
"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."
