Founded in 1967, Moğollar was one of the biggest bands in Turkey during the 70’s. They were among the founders of Anatolian rock with a melodic, psychedelic and blues-influenced sound, and they were also heralded as the kings of Anatolian pop. Their popularity even spread to Europe and earned them many prestigious awards. They worked with countless musicians, ranging from Barış Manço to Selda Bağcan. Even though they took a long hiatus between 1976 and 1992, they are still making music, which puts them among the most active Turkish bands.
Their first and also most famous and influential album, Anadolu Pop, was first released in 1971 in France. 2 years later, it was released in Turkey by Yavuz Plak. An instrumental piece, Haliç’te Güneşin Batışı (Sunset In Golden Horn) is the 7th song off the album. It clearly shows why these guys are called the fathers of Anatolian pop. The band’s unmistakable talent is on full display here; especially Murat Ses’ keyboard solos are very much ahead of the time. 

An ethno driven - progressive song that took place in the “Danses Et Rythmes De La Turquie D'Hier À Aujourd'hui” album which won Académie Charles Cros award (had “Anadolu Pop” name in the Turkey release). Band first released the song on single Ternek / Haliç'te Güneşin Batışı in 1970 under Diskotür label.

“Su Akyol’s voice is light but elegant, and her songs are by turns urgent, sultry and romantic and politically barbed. The new sound of Istanbul.”
--The Observer

With the release of her first international album “Hologram Ĭmparatorluğu” (2016), Gaye Su Akyol established herself as one of Turkey’s most compelling young voices and most exhilarating sonic explorers. Her work as a singer-songwriter, producer and audio/visual conceptualist, simultaneously navigates the storied past, the hyper-connected present and the unscripted future.

Growing up in cosmopolitan Istanbul listening to Anatolian music icon Selda Bağcan and Kurt Cobain in equal measure, Akyol skipped right over the tired Oriental/Occidental paradigmatic clichés. Gaye’s music was global in concept and local in spirit and nuance right from the very beginning.

Following the widespread critical acclaim for “Hologram Ĭmparatorluğu,” Gaye and her sublime band spent 18 months travelling up and down Turkey, Europe and the Middle and Far East sharing with audiences a vibrant mix of raki laced traditional balladry, futurist surf and post-punk opposition. The new album "Istikrarlı Hayal Hakikattir," produced by her and guitarist Ali GüçlüŞimşek, is arguably more immediate and visceral than the first two, reflecting her and the band’s growing reputation as a powerful live act.

“Istikrarlı Hayal Hakikattir,” which translates as “Consistent Fantasy is Reality,” is a deeply poetic album; an album of personalized politics, an album that digs into the heart our contentious, inexplicable contemporary experience. Never blinking. Always dreaming. Never giving in. Never giving up.

Play that song, play the vinyl, Let the storm turn around.
