Delux (Turquoise Vinyl)

10 songs!  A brand new TEKE::TEKE song, remixes by SUUNS and Holy Fuck, covers of the Clash, Unwound and Japanese surf god Takeshi Terauchi and so much more!

Psychedelic rock group TEKE::TEKE are intimately familiar with duality, of splitting reality between past and present, complex melodies and hushed interludes, intense action and lingering response. After building their sound through careful assembly of countless splinters of Japanese folk, psychedelia, Brazilian surf rock, and other far-flung touchstones, the Montreal-based seven-piece indulged in and learned from stretching out in free-floating experimentation on the road. With the release of their sophomore album, Hagata in June 2023, TEKE::TEKE moved fully in the space between, embracing the power of mythic pairings and identities lived at once. Matching muscly intensity with moments of cloudy meditation—like a world-class high jumper finding bliss at the apex of their leap—the group frame expressive compositions with regal flute, rich horns, ecstatic guitar, and a thumping rhythm section.

Revisting Hagata with the release of Hagata Delux (digital only) and it’s companion LP, simply titled Delux, TEKE::TEKE has expanded their overall vision, including brand new song “Meimu” along with remixes and reiterpretations of Hagata tracks from the likes of SUUNS and Holy Fuck, as well as adding on and a collection of Hagata-era tunes available together on vinyl for the first time!
