Lalalar

I first Istanbul's Lalalar last year, and was instantly hooked to the trio's grooving and danceable mix of Turkish psychedelia, Anatolian rock, and electro-pop.  It kicked ass.  And now they're back with their upcoming new album "En K​ö​tü Iyi Olur."  Check out the exotic and kind of ominous "Hem Evimsin Hem Cehennemim" below and pre-order LP here from Les Disques Bongo Joe.

Lalalar

Here's some really rad pop from Turkish band Lalalar.  "Abla Deme Lazim Olur" is full of exotic psychedelia, Anatolian rock, pop beats, and just a little bit of menace.  It's awesome, and the band's new "Bi Cinnete Bakar" LP is just full of this kind of stuff.  Check the track out below, and then get the album here from Les Disques Bongo Joe.

Derya Yıldırım & Grup Şimşek

Turkish born/Berlin based artist Derya Yıldırım makes cool and funky Anatolian psych pop with a group of Western Europeans called Grup Şimşek and the output is sublime.  Check out "Haydar Haydar" below and pre-order the band's upcoming "DOST 1" album out in June here from Les Disques Bongo Joe.

YĪN YĪN

Man, i'm glad i stumbled upon these guys this morning.  Hailing from The Netherlands, YĪN YĪN make a fusion of pop, psychedelia, and funk with occasional flurries of prog and disco.  It's a booty shaking, mind expanding mix of sound and i am here for it.  Check out the groove of "One Inch Punch" below and pre-order the band's upcoming "The Rabbit that Hunts Tigers" LP here from Les Disques Bong Joe.
