Shirushi front1600-120dpi.jpg

On their debut album Shirushi, TEKE::TEKE blend classic Japanese balladry, surf rock, psychedelia, and more to produce a set of songs that play like soundtracks to a wildly eccentric epic film saga. From the  spiritual tale of “Yoru Ni” to the stomping adventure ride of “Kala Kala” and the doomed romance of “Dobugawa”, the Montreal-based seven-piece find a mystic cohesion. By tearing apart roaring punk guitar riffs, folk instrumentation, poetic Japanese lyrics, and big band energy, Shirushi builds a dazzling mosaic of styles and eras.

‘SPELLJAMS’ :: OUT NOW

"Every time I think of Unwound, It’s hard for me to hide the excitement I have for this band. I discovered them a bit on the late, with their album ‘Repetition’ and saw them for the first time when they were touring (alongside Blonde Redhead) in ’96. The show was absolutely memorable and I feel very lucky to have been in attendance. That night I understood the true meaning of ‘Power Trio’. I also witnessed the most original and genius guitar work in rock music since hearing Voïvod for the first time, 5 years prior.” - Serge

‘‘While recording their upcoming debut album at Machines With Magnets in Rhode Island with engineer Seth Manchester (Battles, Daughters, Mdou Moctar…), TEKE::TEKE decided to cut this bonus track in a frenetic live and one take fashion...just for kicks. The result is a modern, raw and energetic version of a classic tune by Japanese guitar hero Takeshi Terauchi.’’
