Hürel Arşivi

On the surface sibling threepiece 3 Hürel mightn’t sound very different to the crop of Anatolian psych bands around at the time: Turkish melodies, some traditional instrumentation, heavy percussion and distorted guitars. But the three were great experimenters, throwing polyphonic synthesizers into the mix and playing an 18-string double necked instrument that combined the saz on one side and the electric guitar on the other. With their driving percussion, super smooth vocals and subtle electronic interjections “Yara” and “Döner Dünya,” originally released together on a 7”, are two highlights (the break on “Döner Dünya” is a killer).
