Takeda are a superb genre-blurring guitar-based folk rock band who create the immersive, emotionally charged sonic landscapes of (say) Grizzly Bear and Big Thief, and combine them with the compelling, delicate lyricism and textures of Nick Drake.

They formed in 2022 when Josh Harrison escaped a cult in rural England and started a band inspired by his experiences. Growing up in a cult was the fertile soil for sprouting a unique brand of music that they call “grunge folk”, fusing the melodic and emotional sensibility of folk with the noise and fuzzed guitar tones of grunge. Takeda are making music that sounds like no-one but themselves…
