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 pekare radicals in terms of their political ideology of sounds; outspoken, ideological, and full of energy, ripe for the dancefloor.
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 reflects on the difficulty 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. -

Exil
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.

La Nouveau Monde
Lalalar est de retour avec leur nouvel album “En Kötü Iyi Olur” sur Les Disques Bongo Joe ! Après avoir enflammé les scènes européennes avec la sortie de leur premier LP, le tout-puissant groupe turc revient avec un album à son image : nerveux, indépendant, politique et redoutablement efficace. Avec ses racines dans la poésie et les sonorités anatoliennes, mais axé sur un Rock club et sans compromis, Lalalar n’a pas baissé les bras et est une fois de plus prêt à tout chambouler.

Petit Bain
Le groupe « Lalalar » originaire d’Istanbul, nous rappel les thèmes d’émission culte des années 80. Avec leurs lignes de basse rétro-cinématiques, leurs beats électroniques sales, leurs chants rebattus, leurs guitares flirtant et leurs samples soigneusement creusés dans l’héritage de l’Anatolie, Lalalar évoque une nostalgie future. Fondé par trois musiciens connus de la scène musicale turque, respectés pour leur travail tant en solo qu’en collectif, Lalalar est sans doute l’une des découvertes européennes incontournables du moment. Le titre de leur premier single brûlant « Isyanlar » évoque des rébellions, et c’est plus ou moins l’essentiel de la manière dont cette bande fonctionne sur scène.

Club Volta
Istanbul’s Lalalar remind you of your favorite 80’s cult show theme, and simultaneously sound like a delightful dumpster dive of spaghetti western-psychedelics, Anatolian funk, sampling and hazy electronics. The one constant: Lalalar is the type of band you want to move to with abandon.

Knust
Lalalar ist zurück mit einem neuen Album auf Les Disques Bongo Joe! Nachdem sie 2022 mit der Veröffentlichung ihrer ersten LP die europäischen Bühnen in Brand gesetzt haben, kehrt die exzellente türkische Band mit „En Kötü Iyi Olur“ zurück, einem Album, das ihr Image widerspiegelt: kantig, unabhängig, politisch und ungeheuer effektiv. Mit ihren Wurzeln in anatolischer Poesie und Klängen, aber ihrem Fokus auf einen cluborientierten, kompromisslosen Rock, ist Lalalar wieder bereit, alles auf den Kopf zu stellen.
