The song is part of the just-released&nbsp;\u2018Assassin\u2019s Creed Shadows \u2013 Kage No Iro (Original Game Soundtrack),\u2019 out now via Ubisoft Music\u2014and it hits hard. Think sweeping flutes, explosive guitars, pounding drums, and Maya Kuroki\u2019s poetic Japanese lyrics painting the shadowy rise of a ninja warrior. It\u2019s cinematic, it\u2019s emotional, and it totally rips.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<span class=\"embed-youtube\" style=\"text-align:center; display: block;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"youtube-player\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/q_FxKBUrZkU?version=3&#038;rel=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;showinfo=1&#038;iv_load_policy=1&#038;fs=1&#038;hl=en-CA&#038;autohide=2&#038;wmode=transparent\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" style=\"border:0;\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts allow-same-origin allow-popups allow-presentation allow-popups-to-escape-sandbox\"><\/iframe><\/span>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><br>The video overlays their sound with stunning in-game visuals, bringing the story of <em>Assassin\u2019s Creed: Shadows<\/em>\u00a0to life. It\u2019s not just background noise either\u2014these songs are woven right into the game, marking the first time Ubisoft has fully embraced an original album as part of a game\u2019s core storytelling. Major move.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>TEKE::TEKE didn\u2019t just lend a song\u2014they went deep. With their roots in Japanese culture and a flair for psych-surf vibes that feel straight out of a lost Tarantino flick, they were basically born to score this game. Ubisoft tapped them to help soundtrack the journey of Naoe, one of the game\u2019s two lead characters\u2014a shinobi with a complex past and serious skills. Maya Kuroki dove headfirst into the world of samurai and shinobi, pulling inspiration from philosophy, folklore, and raw human emotion to build lyrics that feel timeless and haunting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The collaboration with Ubisoft was more than just a sync deal. The band worked hand-in-hand with the game\u2019s creative team to embed their sound directly into key cinematic scenes. According to TEKE::TEKE\u2019s guitarist Sei Nakauchi Pelletier, the devs were so into the music that they basically became part of the band. And it shows\u2014<em>Kage No Iro<\/em>&nbsp;is a perfect fusion of TEKE::TEKE\u2019s boundary-pushing artistry and Assassin\u2019s Creed\u2019s immersive storytelling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And if all that wasn\u2019t enough to get you hyped\u2014they\u2019re hitting the road! TEKE::TEKE just announced a string of North American tour dates for summer 2025. East Coast gets the first taste in June (including a stop at Brooklyn\u2019s iconic Baby\u2019s All Right), and then they head West in July with shows in Seattle, Portland, and more. It\u2019s the perfect chance to catch their wild, genre-bending live energy in person.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>TEKE::TEKE Tour Dates<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>May 16\u201317<\/strong>&nbsp;\u2013 Chibougamau, QC @ Festival La D\u00e9b\u00e2cle Musicale<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>June 18<\/strong>&nbsp;\u2013 Kingston, NY @ Tubby\u2019s<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>June 19<\/strong>&nbsp;\u2013 Brooklyn, NY @ Baby\u2019s All Right<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>June 20<\/strong>&nbsp;\u2013 Greenfield, MA @ Green River Festival<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>June 21<\/strong>&nbsp;\u2013 Saint-Casimir, QC @ Festival Commission B<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>July 3<\/strong>&nbsp;\u2013 Saguenay, QC @ La Noce Festival<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>July 12<\/strong>&nbsp;\u2013 Bellingham, WA @ North West Tune-Up Festival<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>July 13<\/strong>&nbsp;\u2013 Portland, OR @ Jack London Revue<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>July 15<\/strong>&nbsp;\u2013 Tacoma, WA @ Spanish Ballroom<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>July 16<\/strong>&nbsp;\u2013 Seattle, WA @ Madame Lou\u2019s<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>July 18<\/strong>&nbsp;\u2013 Vancouver, BC @ Vancouver Folk Festival<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>July 19<\/strong>&nbsp;\u2013 Big River, SK @ Ness Creek Festival<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Whether you&#8217;re spinning&nbsp;<em>Kage No Iro<\/em>&nbsp;on repeat, diving into the game, or catching TEKE::TEKE live, you&#8217;re in for a ride.
