TEKE::TEKE's debut album Shirushi is a sonic journey that feels like being taken on a whirlwind tour of a mesmerising fever dream.
Drawing inspiration from Japanese folklore and psychedelic rock, this Montreal-based band has crafted a truly unique and boundary-pushing sound that defies easy categorisation.
From the opening track "Kizashi" with its haunting melodies and pulsating rhythms, TEKE::TEKE immediately grab your attention and refuse to let go.
The combination of traditional Japanese instruments such as the shinobue and shamisen with electrifying guitar riffs and propulsive percussion creates a heady mix that is as exhilarating as it is unexpected.
Tracks like "Yoru Ni" and "Barbara" showcase the band's ability to seamlessly blend disparate genres, creating a sound that is both nostalgic and contemporary.
Lead vocalist Maya Kuroki's ethereal vocals soar above the intricate instrumentation, adding an extra layer of depth and emotion to each track.
But it's on the epic closer "Kala Kala" where TEKE::TEKE truly shine, with its swirling guitars and hypnotic rhythms building to a cathartic climax that leaves you breathless and wanting more.
In a musical landscape that can often feel stale and formulaic, TEKE::TEKE stand out as a breath of fresh air.
Shirushi is a bold and fearless debut that announces the arrival of a band that is unafraid to take risks and push boundaries.
Don't sleep on TEKE::TEKE - they are destined for great things.
