Takka Takka Migrate On Sophomore Full-Length

Release Date: July 29th, 2008

Brooklyn experimental pop darlings Takka Takka have readied their sophomore full-length – the appropriately-titled Migration – for release on July 29th via NY indie Ernest Jenning. True to its title, the record is a leap in sound from the quintet’s modest debut, We Feel Safer At Night. Partially influenced by the spiritual awakening of lead singer Gabe Levine’s Balinese mother, the LP focuses on myth, prayer, and a sonic approach that incorporates a world of music. Everything from Gamelan to blissful tangles of Feelies-esque guitar lilt fit into the gorgeous Migration. In May, the band gave fans a peak at the new record with “Silence,” and last month Stereogum unveiled “The Takers.” Now, with the release date looming, Takka Takka have offered up the shimmering “Everybody Say.”

What The Press Says About Takka Takka:

Migration isn't just a migration. It's Takka Takka post metamorphosis. - Stereogum

Resisting cynicism and self-pity, wry frontman Gabriel Levine sings the way people talk, resembling a nicer Lou Reed as he offers moral support to self-conscious loners who get caught up in society’s games, only to "break under pressure." Sample throwaway gem: "You pushed real hard / But you never pushed enough." - Spin Magazine

Takka Takka seems preternaturally gifted at conveying prettiness through guitar pop. The band’s casual swagger, both on record and stage, suggests an ease at pursuing this difficult task. - Time Out NY
