TEKE::TEKE - "Mienai Iro"

Photo by Sam Woywitka

Montreal-based Japanese psych band TEKE::TEKE have new music out as part of the Assassin's Creed: Shadows - Kage No Iro (Original Game Soundtrack), and have released "Mienai Iro" as a single and video. I know video game music has basically just been music for a long time now, TEKE::TEKE have melded their typical psych sound into a classic video game style. The song is wonderfully dramatic and intense, and gives me some Final Fantasy flashbacks while still sounding like a more modern rock focused song. "Mienai Iro" is quite cinematic while also standing on its own as a great song outside of being created for a video game.

You can watch the video for "Mienai Iro" below. Assassin's Creed: Shadows - Kage No Iro (Original Game Soundtrack) is out now on Ubisoft Music. For more on TEKE::TEKE, check out the artist's website. Upcoming tour dates are below the video and include a June 20 show as part of the Green River Festival in Greenfield, MA.
