Italian avant-garde quartet tellKujira announces new album titled La lucha es un poema colectivo, to be released on May 29 2026 through Superpang.
tellKujira’s music moves between contemporary, electronics, art rock, and free jazz, and is based on improvisation sessions. This approach establishes a fluid musical path that is open to contamination and moves towards abstract soundscapes, ambient, polyrhythm, and industrial timbres. A diverse combination that is not afraid to dismantle any language.
“walking on the beach _ what to love and fight for” is a long cinematic journey—at times dense, dramatic, almost lyrical; at others, marked by an almost ethereal lightness. Voices appear and disappear as if they were memories, with guitars and strings constantly in dialogue, sonic worlds being traversed in search of a destination that can only be poetic [and political].
The track features Marco Fiorini on live electronics and AI agents (Somax2), Chiara Guidi of Societas, with texts freely drawn from the poems of Elena Chiattelli and Alice Keller.
The music of La lucha es un poema colectivo was conceived and composed during a long artistic residency at IRCAM in Paris in November 2023.
