    Shirushi is as promising and satisfying a debut as any North American group has presented in quite a while.

    If Shirushi’s relentless momentum can leave you breathless, it batters its way into real, mutant rock’n’roll thrills. [Aug 2021, p.35]

    Eleki and psych rock appear to not be enough for the seven-piece's voracious and diverse musical appetites, and Shirushi offers many directions from which the band could reasonably choose.

    Deploying ominous cinematic pacing and diaphanous harmonics, the transient Kaminari effectively incorporates an illustrative quality reminiscent of Cocteau Twins‘ Liz Frazer, before the Montreal musicians revert back into classic rockabilly mode and on the voyeuristic shuffle of Sarabande, they fixate on the more gonzo hallucinatory aspects of tropicalia and Turkish psych rock.

    Lavish enough for fans of Amon Duul II's headshop tribal rituals. [Jun 2021, p.90]

TEKE::TEKE must have worked hard in the studio to make it the best debut album of their career, and it definitely shows. It's going to be exciting to see where they might go in the future. I can say I've become a fan of theirs, and I might be sticking around to see them grow as artists.
