Lalalar | Control Club

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 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 evoke 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. 

Their first album 'Bi Cinneke Bakar', released last May on the bubbling Swiss label 'Les Disques Bongo Joe', is  mixing punk energy with darkwave, electro and techno sounds or Turkish psychedelic folklore.
