Montreal psych septet TEKE::TEKE create a swirling haze of surf, punk, and Japanese art-rock. — this sound is as genre-bent as it gets; the ensemble careens through their set with harmonized electric guitars, trombone, flute, and Maya Kuroki’s vocal explosions in her native tongue. The vibe is at turns rowdy, cinematic, and transcendental even. The project got started as a one-time tribute concert for Japanese surf rock god Takeshi Terauchi, who passed in 2021 — but quickly involved into something far greater than the sum of its parts, with Balkan, afrobeat, and Brazilian tropicalia inspirations.
