The soundscape of the village is lush, and its acoustics are very interesting as it sits on a few hills overlooking valleys with creeks at the bottom. Longer version at https://youtu.be/KoI9vKl2qLw

Sunday, Late

Anatolian psych-pop sensations Derya Yıldırım & Grup Şimşek (pronounced ‘Shimshek’) are back with Dost (‘friend’) 1&2, which compiles the band’s both second and third album. Fronted by Berlin based, Turkish singer and multi-instrumentalist Derya Yıldırım and with members in France and Great Britain, the group is known for its contemporary takes on traditional Anatolian folk ballads whilst drawing on a heady mix of psychedelia, jazz and the omnivorous pop universe of the present day. Derya Yıldırım and her  trans-continental band of brothers and sisters are an essential guide for contemporary psychedelia.

While rooted in Anatolian tradition, Grup Şimşek (which translates into Ocean Lightning and the Thunderbolts, a play on Derya’s surname “Yıldırım”, which means lightning in Turkish) draws on a boundless cosmos of sounds and builds on the contribution of each band member. 

Derya Yıldırım explains: “In Dost 1 we tried to concentrate on the sound that we really like as a whole unit, focusing on each element and arranging and composing the songs all together.  Dost 2 is the second part of this adventure [and] it’s really important to actually consider us as individuals [...] with different influences and backgrounds.”

Eternal Light

A male European nightjar delivers his strange motor like song from one of his favorite song post before moving to the next one, ending his trill by a joyful wing clap.
