Takka Takka "Everybody Say"

• Words: Bryant Rutledge
• Label: Ernest Jenning

Takka Takka experimented with everything from psychedelia to future-folk on Migration, its latest album, but gentle melodies are definitely a common denominator throughout the release. Case in point is this track, which features shimmering keyboards and vocalist Gabriel Levine's flawless voice working together with a bluesy bassline. Migration's an apt name for the entire album, as the music tends to wander into unexpected territories, sliding between minor chords and upbeat rhythms and constantly keeping the listener guessing. Definitely a refreshing take on the traditional band setup.
