Lalalar’s debut album is an explosion of energy, a wave of dark electronics and Anatolian rock that you can’t help but be swept up by. The trio balance all the different elements to build a powerful soundscape: commanding drum beats, vigorous guitars, throbbing synths, Ali Güçlü Şimşek’s stern vocals, and snippets of Turkish folk come together in something that feels enormous, theatrical. Despite all the energy and power, the 15 tracks on the record are elegant and elevating, building a deliciously operatic atmosphere.
