Takka Takka
Migration
Label: Ernest Jenning
Takka Takka might not have the name recognition of other hip Brooklyn bands of the moment, but the art-rock outfit is definitely all about that scene. Migration, the band's sophomore album (after 2007's We Feel Safer at Night), was produced by Clap Your Hands Say Yeah drummer Sean Greenhalgh. Greenhalgh's bandmate Lee Sargent guests on the album, as does Bryan Devendorf of the National, Charles Burst and Olga Bell. Some of the album's Eastern sounds were inspired by singer Gabe Levine's mother's recent adoption of traditional Balinese religion. The world-music feel that influence produced is reminiscent of music from the likes of David Byrne, Joe Strummer, Paul Simon and even the neo-classical leanings of Philip Glass.
