Tengger (Korean: 텐거, stylised as TENGGER) is a South Korean electronic music band. The band consists of a couple, Korean musician Itta, and Japanese musician Marquido. Their son, Raai, later joined the band.[1]

History

Tengger was formed in 2005 by Itta and Marquido, with the band name 10 (Ten). The band's name was later changed after their son was born.[2] The band name Tengger means "big sky without boundaries" in Mongolian.[3]

They created an experimental style of work in 2014, including the release of Minishiko, which they recorded while touring temples in Japan.[2] In 2019, they released their new album Spiritual 2, which Pitchfork described the band as "Tengger's music is fascination with devotional sound-making."[4] In 2023, they released their new studio album TENGGER.[1]
