Host Shawna talks to Maya and Sei of the Montreal (by way of Japan) surf rock band TEKE::TEKE about their song “Garakuta,” which details how all the used and disposable items we create will one day rise up and take over. We also discuss the desire to create a visual world through music, starting out as a cover band, who is considered disposable, and how much more trash there is in North America. How many Barbies have you found in the ocean?
