Montreal-based seven-piece TEKE::TEKE burst onto the scene with their debut album Shirushi, released in 2021 on Kill Rock Stars. The band masterfully weaves together traditional Japanese instruments — including a Shinobue bamboo flute and Taisho Koto — with fuzzy guitars, trombone, and a driving rhythm section to conjure a sound reminiscent of 1960s–70s psychedelic Japanese soundtracks while remaining undeniably modern and punk.
Shirushi is a genre-defying journey that blends classic Japanese balladry, surf rock, and psychedelia into something that feels like the soundtrack to a wildly eccentric epic film saga. From the queasy, anarchic energy of its opening tracks to the moody, strings-rich atmosphere of its closing ballad, this album showcases a band operating with remarkable range and a singular, captivating vision.
