Istanbul’s Lalalar reminds you of your favourite 80’s cult shows theme song and delightful dumpster dive of spaghetti western-psychedelics, Anatolian funk, fresh psychedelia from Istanbul!

With their retro-cinematic bass lines, dirty electronic beats, rebroken vocals, flirting guitars and attentively dug samples from the legacies of Anatolia, Lalalar evokes a future nostalgia.

Founded by three well-known musicians from the Turkish music scene, respected both for their solo and collective work, Lalalar is no doubt one of the must-hear European discoveries of the moment. The title of their scorching debut single ‘Isyanlar’ translates to rebellions, and that’s more or less the gist of how this bunch operates on stage.
