İstikrarlı Hayal Hakikattir

Released

With the release of her first international album “Hologram Ĭmparatorluğu”  in 2016, Gaye Su Akyol established herself as a leading figure in the contemporary Anatolian psych scene thanks to her arresting mix Turkish folklore, punk attitude, and futuristic surf. Her third album İstikrarlı Hayal Hakikattir sees her and her band expand their sound even further to include the squelchy electronics on opener “İstikrarlı Hayal Hakikattir” or the futuristic “Hemşerim Memleket Nire.” But Gaye Su Akyol doesn’t stray far from her original sound, with the shredded, surf-rock guitar of “Laziko” or the folksy charm of traditional instruments like the oud, the bağlama, and cümbüş on “Bağrımızda Taş” and “Boşluk Ve Sonsuzluk”.
