“The Turkish singer has emerged at the fore of her country’s revitalized music scene…mixes Turkish modes and scales with surf rock, and psychedelia.”--Pitchfork
With the release of her first international album in 2016, Gaye Su Akyol established herself as one of Turkey’s most compelling young voices and most exhilarating sonic explorers. Growing up in cosmopolitan Istanbul listening to Anatolian music icon Selda Bağcan 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. “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. Play that song, play the vinyl, Let the storm turn around.
