Baba Zula

A kaleidoscopic musical homage to the atmospheres and mysteries of their hometown.

The record plays like a classic concept album, unfolding through a mixture of short ambient instrumentals, and pulsing, hypnotic long trackspowered by Turkish percussion, glitched electronics, deep bass, electric saz and Murat and Esma Ertel's dual vocals. It is a vividand compelling album from a band that continues to show us the future. Nearly 30 years since their inception, the legendary Istanbul band Baba Zula remains the most experimental exponent of contemporary Turkish psych-rock; the sonic trailblazers of the internationally revered Turkish psychedelic scene that includes Altin Gun, Gaye Su Akyol, Lalalar and Derya Yildirim & Grup Simsek
