RELEASE DATE
7/29/2022
2019 release. Two years after the success of
Nem Kaldı
(2017), outernational psych-pop sensation
Derya Yıldırım & Grup Şimşek
deliver their debut album,
Kar Yağar
. Over the course of its 12 tracks, the powerful sound of the Bağlama (Turkish lute) and Derya Yıldırım's stunning vocals, builds and unravels stories together with the guitars, organs, drums, flute, and bass.
Kar Yağar
(which translates as "Snow Falls") has the dynamics of an epic journey through the Anatolian highlands; where deep-rooted folk effortlessly switches to sparkly improvisation or dance-y pop tracks. The album was self-produced at their studio in the French Alps, and the band's tour de force resides in their ability to develop their personal sound and approach whilst keeping their heart tuned to Derya Yıldırım's Anatolian roots. Original songs and instrumentals -- all composed and arranged by the band -- are scattered throughout the album. Notably "Seni Hala", a tear-drawing ballad with stripped-down acoustic arrangement and haunting choir... And Graham Mushnik's dreamy instrumental "Çocuklar", in which the band chose to feature a poem by one of Turkey's most renowned 20th century poet
Nâzım Hikmet Ran
whose title translates as "give the world to our children". The poem is meaningfully read by Derya's father
Mustafa Yıldırım
. The LP also contains a string of Turkish folk songs, that the band entirely re-arranged whilst preserving their original spirit and soul. In "Ey Şahin Bakışlım" Grup Şimşek pay tribute to the Alevi culture, a minority community in Turkey for which music -- and particularly the Bağlama instrument -- has a sacred value. A powerful and majestic version of
Mahzuni Şerif
's "Dom Dom Kurşunu" -- one of Grup Şimşek fans' favorites at live shows -- is also featured.
