This is so very indie, but I’ll be damned if this isn’t the perfect soundtrack for leaving summer behind and embracing the fall. Takka Takka really do sound like brown leaves and clear, cold skies.
Straight outta Brooklyn (the place to be from if you want to be hip nowadays) Takka Takka make for a moody minimalist’s version of Talking Heads or Yeasayer.
I am certainly no music journalist, so for your enlightment I’ll allow myself to quote Jon Pareles’ of the NY Times: “Despite some earthbound moments most of the music is rock as meditation, with orderly repetition trying to keep the deepest fears at bay.” I like that.
I’ll let you judge for yourself, as the band have – most generously – put three songs of theirs up for download. I like this band.

Virkelig noget dejligt musik! Minder mig lidt om Menomena.
Musikken er hvad der holder mit humør oppe i vinter halvåret..
Tak Troels.
