Yes it is a band name. They are from Japan and they play post-rock. Post-rock is some really atmospheric music with mostly positively-sad emotions. Just a thing you need to relax after a harsh day at the office… but not in that case.
These japs play incredibly positive post-rock and they are some kind of real underground. In my experience only bands like TE’ can bring up something fresh that in 3-5 year will be heard as a new pop-band. Sad but true but now back to the music.
The music is incredible, it is a mix of atmospheric guitars doing mostly major chords (they always keep you positively tuned) and a bit of standard but tricky drum-bass combo. Sometimes it reminds of jpop, sometimes of European post-rock, sometimes of space rock but mostly it sounds like an old 80th videogame soundtrack. The only thing that’s missing is an iPod to make TE’ the soundtrack of your life.
TE’
Hell yea! I bought their mp3s from HearJapan last week. I was heavily impressed. If you check out http://www.hearjapan.com/store/group/9 they have loads of information on Te as well as all of their albums.
