“All I know is that we’re keen to avoid letting Takeda become about three people who make music, rather than music made by three people.”

The latest signing from independent Norwich label Dustbowl Records – the outfit responsible for Adelaide’s Cape – has just been announced. The wonderful Takeda will release their debut EP ‘Hufsa’ through Dustbowl on September 6th.

This supremely talented three-piece, hailing from a town just outside Norwich, take influences from a range of different genres. Their unique brand of music combines elements of alternative, fusion, world, ambient, folk and folk rock, forming a sound that they describe as ‘raga rock’. They might be relatively new faces on the Norwich music scene, but this trio are already creating a name for themselves with all the right people.

Takeda’s debut EP, entitled ‘Hufsa’, will be released on September 6th through Dustbowl Records. Details of a launch party for the release and subsequent live dates in support of the release will follow over the summer.

They are currently offering a free MP3 download of a song called ‘A Million Years’ via this link.
