Gaye Su Akyol - "Vurgunum Ama Acelesi Yok" (Weekly Music Roundup)

In the 1970s, a distinctly Turkish style of psychedelic rock formed as singers rooted in Anatolian folk music came under the sonic spell of the late Beatles albums. More recently, the Turkish singer Gaye Su Akyol has taken that sound and added her own touches of 90s alternative rock and 60s surf rock. Her latest album is called Anadolu Ejderi, or Anatolian Dragon (Glitterbeat Records), and it’s full of serpentine vocal lines, exotic but danceable beats, and often intertwining guitars and keyboards.  This song is called “Vurgunum Ama Acelesi Yok,” which essentially means I have a bad case of loving you. Gaye Su Akyol’s new song is part of our Weekly Music Roundup.
