popanz TAKESHI'S CASHEW (Wien AT, Siluh) Dienstag, 28. März 2027 Bumann & Sohn, Köln Einlass 19:00, Beginn 20:00 TICKETS
Returning with news of third studio album Planet Odyssey 64 - due 30th October via Siluh Records (The Homesick, Tramhaus, Topsy Turvy) - cult Viennese psych outfit Takeshi’s Cashew share synth-fuelled krautrock cut ‘Operator’. Honing in on their longheld fondness for medieval folk melodies and classic loop-based videogame soundtracks for the Nintendo 64 and Game Boy Advance, the band channel their expansive pan-european cosmo-funk instrumentals into more focused yet fantastical realms on Planet Odyssey 64 and call it “psych medieval Nintendo Core”. Streamlining the diverse instrumentation of their previous works into a deliberately minimalist 8-bit amalgam of drum machines, Roland SH-101 electric bass, chiptune synths, and singular guitar sounds - Floran Feit’s distinctive flute is still a flamboyant presence throughout - the band confront the challenge of a third album head-on, and tickle that burning, creative itch to mix things up and make a ‘concept’ album.
