TEKE::TEKE is a Montreal-based psych-rock group that brings together traditional Japanese instruments, flute and trombone with raging guitars and a pulsing rhythm section. Composed of guitarists Serge Nakauchi Pelletier & Hidetaka Yoneyama, bass player Mishka Stein, drummer Ian Lettre, flutist Yuki Isami, trombone player Etienne Lebel, and performance artist and vocalist Maya Kuroki, TEKE::TEKE creates a sound reminiscent of 1960’s and 70’s era psychedelic Japanese soundtracks with a frenetic modern twist.

With their unique blend of musical influences and instruments, TEKE::TEKE offers listeners an immersive experience that transports them to another time and place. Their music combines the energy of rock with the ethereal beauty of traditional Japanese melodies. The result is a captivating sonic journey that keeps audiences on the edge of their seats.

Whether performing live or in the studio, TEKE::TEKE's passion for their craft shines through in every note they play. Their dedication to pushing boundaries and exploring new sonic territories has earned them critical acclaim within the psych-rock genre. With each release, they continue to captivate audiences around the world with their innovative approach to music.

From the tender-hearted “Jinzou Maria” to the rumbling and raucous “Yurei Zanmai”, the songs of Hagata bear an eerie yet somehow familiar sensation. Japanese pop tones, Serge Gainsbourg grandeur, folk whisper, and Brazilian surf rock all mix into the psychedelic stew. Blending past and present, from Canada to Japan, multiple lives lived at once, each track carries a sense of change, impact, of having been marked in an intimate way. And yet the force behind that marking is always just out of grasp, a wisp, a ghost, an energy, a spirit that compels you to keep reaching.
