NEWS - "A masterclass in modern pop-folk" - Derya Yıldırım and Grup Şimşek's 'Yarın Yoksa' LP

Nine of the tunes on the album are original compositions but the LP also takes on three Anatollian folk songs in inimitable style. The acapella introduction of ‘Misket’, a folk song from Ankara/Türkiye, will stop you in your tracks. The tune deals with death and how the living cope and continue a relationship with those who have passed away. Another traditional tune from Sivas with a signature twist is ‘Hop Bico’, a tune about a playful character named Bico who is a symbol of vitality and spirit. The synth intro grabs your ear from the first note, and the earworm chorus encouraging Bico to lead the group in celebration and embrace life through dance, will have the same effect on everyone who hears it.
