Un delizioso tuffo tra spaghetti western-psichedelici e funk anatolico.
Elettronica con spezie mediorientali che si muove tra influenze post-punk, hip hop, funk e la psichedelia anatolica degli anni ’60 e ’70!
La band turca LALALAR è tornata con il secondo album En Kötü Iyi Olur, uscito l’8 settembre su Les Disques Bongo Joe per coronare un interminabile tour che ha infiammato i palcoscenici europei (tra cui gli italiani Jazz is Dead e IndieRocket) e a poco più di un anno dall’esordio Bi Cinnete Bakar.
En Kötü Iyi Olur è un album che riflette la loro immagine: tagliente, indipendente, politica e tremendamente attuale. Radici ben salde nella poesia e nei suoni anatolici, e le braccia protese verso la scena rock e club-oriented senza compromessi, i musicisti, producer e attivisti Ali Güçlü Şimşek, Barlas Tan Özemek e Alican İpek, sono radicali in termini della loro ideologia politica dei suoni, espliciti, ideologici e pieni di energia, maturi per il dancefloor!
Uscito lo scorso anno per la sempre ottima Bongo Joe, attentissima selezionatrice di perle dall’underground globale, Bi Cinnete Bakar è l’esordio discografico dei turchi Lalalar. Trio incendiario dedito sì alla riscoperta di detriti dell’Anatolian Rock, ma con una verve tutt’altro che passatista, anzi. A veri e propri campionamenti di oscure band turche avvicendano psichedelia, funk e pure una forte dose di cultura e attitudine hip hop.
Il trio turco sarà live il 21 Marzo 2024 al Circolo Dong Pierdipa di Macerata
Lalalar is back with a new album on Les Disques Bongo Joe! After setting European stages on fire with the release of their first LP in 2022, the almighty Turkish band returns with En Kötü Iyi Olur, an album that reflects their image: edgy, independent, political, and tremendously effective. With their roots in Anatolian poetry and sounds, but their focus on a club-oriented, uncompromising rock, Lalalar has not given up and is once again ready to turn everything upside down. Full album is awaited September 8th but we’re happy to share with you today the first single Hem Evimsin Hem Cehennemim !
The streets of Istanbul have always been a melting pot of political energy, social furore, and intense musical progression. It’s a hotbed of riotous sounds and artists looking for new outlets and sound; a bi-product of youth culture who have been living under the rule of Erdo anfor almost a decade. It’s from these streets that the band Lalalar came to fruition. The alternative electronic-activists Ali Güçlü i m ek, Barlas Tan Özemek and Alican pek are radicals in terms of their political ideology of sounds; outspoken, ideological, and full of energy, ripe for the dancefloor.
In arrivo musica psichedelica fresca da Istanbul! I Lalalar sono nostalgia del futuro, che passa da linee di basso retro cinematografiche, ritmi elettro-sporchi, voci interrotte, chitarre auto-flirtanti e campioni gentilmente estratti dalle eredità dell’Anatolia.
Het drie koppige LaLaLar ontstond 2019 in de straten van Istanbul. Ze bieden je nostalgie uit de toekomst door middel van catchy baslijnen, electronische beats, flirterige gitaren en gecureerde samples uit de archieven van Anatolië. Hiermee maken ze muziek die je aan het denken zet terwijl je aan het dansen bent. Op 24 maart kan je het zelf ervaren in de Kleine Zaal.

The first single “Hem Evimsin Hem Cehennemim,” draws from classic Turkish and Middle Eastern sounds before turning into a banger tailor-made for clubs and the hottest stages. Between love and addiction, the song re flects on the dif ficulty of intense relationships. With a killer bassline, sharp guitar riffs, and a vocal style that blends rap and singing, leaving no one indifferent, the track is made for dancers around the world. Its infectious beat and powerful sound set the tone for the album.
Anatolische Sounds und Poesie gemischt mit Club orientiertem Rock ergibt Lalalar. Nach dem Release ihres erfolgreichen Debütalbums und etlichen spektakulären Liveauftritten in ganz Europa kehrt die türkische Band nun mit einem neuen Album, das unmissverständlich nach Lalalar klingt, zurück: Edgy, eigenständig, politisch und geradlinig sind nur einige Begriffe, um das einzigartige Soundgebilde der Band aus Istanbul in Worte zu fassen. Bei ihrem Konzert im EXIL muss man sich aber zum Glück nicht auf Stichworte verlassen, sondern kann sich voll und ganz dem Gefühl der Musik hingeben, wenn Lalalar ein Feuer auf dem Dancefloor entfachen.
