bio
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." - The New Yorker
“TEKE::TEKE meld a truly unique blend of disparate elements into an immersive cinematic world, rooted in rock music but seeking to traverse much more” - Exclaim
“TEKE::TEKE’s style is a fresh and fascinating take on Japanese psych punk.” - Under The Radar
