They : :' dropped their debut album, Fantezi Mⁿzik (literally "Fantasty ': ,: Music", but also "Extravaganza"), in 2017. Now they're back with :, : Hata Payi (literally "A Part of the Mistake", but also : :' "Tolerance"). I'm very sad that I don't speak Turkish, because ': ,: I can't understand the lyrics to these songs. But I find them so :, : catchy that I'm constantly trying to sing along, which just ends : :' up as a sort of nonsense babbling or humming. I was able to run ': ,: the titles through a translator though to at least get a general :, : sense of what is going on, and they seem to point towards what : :' you'd expect from this style: pensive meditations on love and ': ,: relationships. :, : : :' I was just a bit too young to really experience the 80s in the ': ,: proper way, namely, as a lovelorn teenager, but this album puts :, : me right there. It's somewhere between basically every synthpop : :' band of that era and The Smiths, minus the vocals. The opening ': ,: track, 'Sana G÷re Bir Sey Yok' ("Nothing for You"), is :, : incredibly strong, and is one of the songs that is completely : :' stuck in my head. It combines foundational synth bass with airy ': ,: synth strings and ghostly guitars to create a haunting song. :, : It's near-gothic, like a more electronic The Cure track. : :' ': ,: Some of the tracks lack staying power and become tiresome :, : though. 'Kendine Ragmen' works off a slightly psych-flavored : :' organ, but ends up being too plodding upon repeated listens. ': ,: 'G÷rdⁿgⁿm Rⁿya' ("The Dream I See") is also a bit on the slow :, : side. But even these songs somehow work in the context of the : :' album as a whole, since it oftentimes feels like you're ': ,: listening to the soundtrack of a John Hughes film and seeing :, : dramatic movie scenes in your mind. : :' ': ,: The best song on the album is definitely 'Yangin' ("Fire"). It :, : strikes a perfect chord of yearning optimism. The synths are : :' some of the most upbeat, with a particular melodic progression ': ,: and backing singing that sound straight off Depeche Mode's Speak :, : and Spell. Soyocak's vocals here are evocative and rich, like a : :' Turkish Peter Murphy. I cannot get enough of this tune! It's ': ,: one of the very best things I've heard all year. :, : : :' Another song that comes in hot is 'Kalbim K÷prⁿ Gibi' ("My ': ,: Heart is Like a Bridge"), which rides a wonderful, driving :, : synthline with delicate guitar accents and is one of the more : :' uplifting tunes in the set. 'HΓlΓ Berbat' ("Still Wretched"), ': ,: takes things back in a more reflective, high school prom slow :, : dance direction. The closer, 'Ne Teselli Ne Avuntu' ("What : :' Comfort What Solace"), is super solid too. The heavyweight, ': ,: pulsing synths, sounding more modern than most of the music on :, : offer, remind me of R÷yksopp. : :' ': ,: Anyone who lived through the 80s on any level will feel this set :, : deep in their soul. The more you experienced that time, the : :' stronger it will resonate with you, I suspect. There are lots ': ,: of albums and bands that use the instrumentation and :, : sensibilities of that era, but few bands manage to so perfectly : :' embody the spirit of the age like Jakuzi do.
