"TAKKA TAKKA, a Brooklyn band, gets the guitar-picking patterns on its album Migration from all over: Minimalism and math-rock, Africa and Indonesia, funk and folk and psychedelia, often over beats that sound like rock anthems burnished smooth by the notes pelting above. The band members sing as if to themselves, murmuring glimpses of catastrophe — 'You walk around while the city’s on fire too. Fight on.' — and transcendence: 'Talk without making a sound. You and universe.' Despite some earthbound moments most of the music is rock as meditation, with orderly repetition trying to keep the deepest fears at bay." - Jon Pareles, New York Times
Migration is the very first release from EAR FARM records, in conjunction with Ernest Jenning Record Co
