SUPER LIMITED EDITION VINYL
Release Date: 17th September 2025
"In Spring 2022, Josh Harrison escaped a cult in rural England and formed Takeda. Growing up in a cult was the fertile soil for sprouting a unique brand of Folk-Rock. Having left with a catalog of songs, Josh recruited Charlie Wilson on Drums and David Woodgett on Bass. Together, they turned those songs into something way bigger than the sum of their parts, labelling themselves “the loudest acoustic guitar on Earth”. With Ollie Welch joining the band for the live stage, the band will be touring In Venus’ Train in September 2025 across the UK in support of the release. The upcoming debut album In Venus’ Train channels mystical figures from folk-lore and biblical metaphors, writing songs about obsession, love and grieving a past life. Drawing influence in equal measure from British folk revivalists Fairport Convention and alt-metal icons Tool. Fusing the melodic and emotional sensibility of folk with the noise and fuzzed guitar tones of grunge, Takeda are making music that sounds something like if Nick Drake joined Pile."
