The first time I listened to this I was saying to myself (after the first two tracks) "This is just too Spanish for my tastes". When I looked up their bio here and saw they were from Turkey I had to laugh. Besides drums, guitar and bass we get viola and trumpet which play significant roles in their sound. I can't forget the male vocalist who sounds incredible. I would describe their sound as in a similar style to FULANO from Chile. This is a blast !

"Celik Comak" has these fast paced spoken vocals and some laughter, then it kicks in reminding me of AREA. Love the guitar a minute in. Trumpet too. This is insane. Vocals and viola follow. A top four track for me. "Refik" builds nicely and we get vocals before a minute. Lots of trumpet and viola here. Man this sounds Spanish to me. "Nem" turns darker with sampled spoken words and viola before 1 1/2 minutes. A melancholic mood follows. Trumpet joins in. It starts to pick up later. An amazing song and a top four. "Nayu" is acoustic with laid back vocals early on. Spacey sounds before 3 minutes then back to the earlier soundscape to end it.

"Okyanus Duguna" has some spacey sounds to start. Trumpet, viola and a beat take over. "Anonim" opens with stoic vocals and when they stop 1 1/2 minutes in the viola comes in then a full sound. Vocals are back only this time they are alive and passionate. Catchy stuff. "Gozegn" is a top four and it sounds like a different vocalist. I like this one a lot. When the vocals stop it picks up and becomes more intense. "Sermest" kicks in before a minute with fast paced vocals. He puts on quite the show. I like when it settles 2 minutes in. It picks back up late. "Seker" is the final song and my last top four. Acoustic guitar and deep bass sounds lead off. It builds and vocals come in. A child speaks around 2 minutes then the sounds of a school yard can be heard with the children laughing and playing. The child is speaking again before the school yard sounds end it.

This was fun, adventerous and an entertaining listen.
