Lalalar - Yalniz Olu Baliklar Akintiyi Takip Eder from the 2022 album Bi Cinnete Bakar on Bongo Joe Switzerland.

Lalalar are currently Turkey\\u2019s buzziest band and for good reason. The trio\\u2019s fusion of 70\\u2019s Anatolian rock and 80\\u2019s dark wave with a punk attitude make for an intoxicatingly fierce and innovative sound. While the band has only been around since 2018, Ali G\\xfc\\xe7l\\xfc \\u015eim\\u015fek, Barlas Tan \\xd6zemek and Kaan D\\xfczarat are established members of the Istanbul music scene so it was an almost-inevitable meeting of minds and an exciting one for those familiar with their prior work.

Last year they released their debut album Bi Cinnete Bakar, a 70-minute epic journey of head-bopping soundscapes. Our Song of the Day \\u201cYalniz Olu Baliklar Akintiyi Takip Eder\\u201d was originally released in 2019 on the split 7\\u201d Isyanlar. One of the most psych-infused tracks on the record, the band amps the fuzz up to 11 with an explosive meandering guitar line that cools to let \\u015eim\\u015fek recite his spoken word lyrics only to burst again when he steps off the mic. It\\u2019s a dynamic thrill ride that\\u2019s only a small portion of what Lalalar excels at.

To get a taste of Lalalar\\u2019s riveting live shows, watch a performance of Bi Cinette Bakar opening track "Isyanlar" and read the full post at KEXP.org.
