Fronted by Turkish singer and multi-instrumentalist Derya Y\u0131ld\u0131r\u0131m, and with members hailing from Germany, France, Italy and Great Britain, psych-pop quintet Derya Y\u0131ld\u0131r\u0131m & Grup \u015eim\u015fek<\/a> are gearing up to release their debut album Kar Ya\u011far<\/em>. Translating as “Snow Falls”, Kar Ya\u011far<\/em> marvelously blends a mixture of influences and genres, from Anatolian roots music and 70\u2019s jazz to early prog rock. The record, and as the press release describes, “has the dynamics of an epic journey through the Anatolian highlands where deep-rooted folk effortlessly switches to sparkly improvisation or dancy pop tracks.” Comprising original songs and instrumentals, Kar Ya\u011far<\/em> also features Turkish folk songs re-arranged by the band.
\nAhead of its release on May 24th through Catapulte Records<\/a>, Derya Y\u0131ld\u0131r\u0131m & Grup \u015eim\u015fek have shared a string of singles. Take a listen to the stunning and hypnotizing opening track “\u00dc\u00e7 K\u0131z Bir Ana” and the album\u00b4s closer “Oy Oy Emine”. The latter, a cover of a traditional Turkish song, comes with a video by Agnieszka Gasiorek and Marcin Dominiak.<\/p>\n
