Erkin Koray is one of the pioneers of Anatolian rock, and although he and his band started out in the 1950s doing Elvis Presley covers, his music evolved into one of the most idiosyncratic expressions of Turkish folklore, rock, and psychedelia. His third studio album, 2, is far more grounded in traditional Turkish music than its predecessors, and demonstrates a sophisticated approach to cross-cultural genre-blending, using echoey vocals, subtle psychedelia, and even a touch of funk to create an expansive, trippy Anatolian dreamscape.
