Les Disques #Bongo_Joe, hand in hand with Dunganga records, are pleased to announce the release of the first album of based almighty trio #Lalalar ! Before revealing the entire album of the Turkish punky-electronic band, we share with you an appetizer, the first single Abla Deme Lazım Olur !
Riding a wave of fierce energy and acclaim generated by their show-stopping festival performances at Le Guess Who and Trans Musicales, Lalalar now unleash their hotly-anticipated debut album, Bi Cinnete Bakar. The brainchild of three of Turkey’s most active and innovative alternative artists – Ali Güçlü Şimşek, Barlas Tan Özemek and Kaan Düzarat – the album is a thrilling mix of punk energy, dark electronics and Turkish instrumentation and samples.
For listeners whose knowledge of Turkish music extends only as far as 70s Anatolian rock, Lalalar might come as a surprise. Though Ali, main songwriter, suggests that those psychedelic classics are “in the veins” of all three members, Lalalar are much more than just another retro outfit. Instead, they weave subtle samples of timeless Turkish folk music into their electronic stews.
Bi Cinnete Bakar will be released May 6th, but you can already preorder your copy on Bandcamp ! There’s a very limited SUNDOWN ORANGE version. Be fast and smooth, this one will go fast !!
