TEKE::TEKE Share ‘Yoru Ni’ From Upcoming ‘Shirushi’ Album

Japan’s TEKE::TEKE are back with an otherworldly single and video for ‘Yoru Ni‘ that is taken from upcoming LP “Shirushi” that is due out on May 7th via Kill Rock Stars. The single packs TEKE::TEKE’s characteristically heavy punch. Mean guitar licks doubled by intricate traditional Japanese shamisen and shinobue all meld with a wave of trombone & flute stabs with surfy guitars, immediately throwing you into an old-school spy flick. The lyrics, however tell a different story: ‘Yoru Ni‘ is a somewhat romantic spiritual tale about letting go of a delusional quest.

“Shirushi” can be pre-ordered via Kill Rock Stars here

Yoru Ni (which translates from Japanese to ‘At Night’) was literally written in the middle of the night. I woke up suddenly and had this melody in my head, as if it had come to me from another world. It really felt like I was following some kind of spirit or ghost, it was taking my hand and wanted to take me somewhere. (Serge Nakauchi-Pelletier)
