Gaye Su Akyol - Develerle Yaşıyorum '2014

Tracks list

Biography
With the release of her first album Develerle Yaşıyorum (2014) and her
first international album “Hologram İmparatorluğu” (2016),
Gaye Su Akyol established herself as one of Turkey’s most compelling
young voices and most exhilarating sonic explorers. Her work as a
singer-songwriter, producer and audio/visual conceptualist, simultaneously
navigates the storied past, the hyper-connected present and the unscripted
future.

Growing up in cosmopolitan Istanbul listening to Anatolian music icon Selda
BaÄŸcan and Kurt Cobain in equal measure, Akyol skipped right over the tired
Oriental/Occidental paradigmatic clichés. Gaye’s music was global in
concept and local in spirit and nuance right from the very beginning.

Following the widespread critical acclaim for “Hologram
İmparatorluğu” Gaye and her sublime band spent 18 months travelling
up and down Turkey, Europe and the Middle and Far East sharing with audiences a
vibrant mix of raki laced traditional balladry, futurist surf and post-punk
opposition. The new album, produced by her and guitarist Ali Güçlü
Şimşek, is arguably more immediate and visceral than the first two,
reflecting her and the band’s growing reputation as a powerful live act.

“Istikrarlı Hayal Hakikattir,” which translates as
“Consistent Fantasy is Reality,” is a deeply poetic album; an album
of personalized politics, an album that digs into the heart our contentious,
inexplicable contemporary experience. Never blinking. Always dreaming. Never
giving up.
