istanbuls electro-anarchists Lalalar return with a brand new 7 on Les Disques Bongo Joe, pairing two explosive tracks that bridge centuries of poetry and rebellion.

On the A side, Hapisteler Ama Yenilie Doru (Imprisoned Yet Toward Anew) shines the light of Rumis 750-year-old verses onto the shadows of modern Istanbul. Inspiredby Tlay German & Franois Rabbaths 1982 Hommage Nzm Hikmet, the song becomes an homage within an homage where voices of resistance and renewalecho across borders and time. Dark, glitchy and melancholic, Lalalar thrust Rumis words into the chaos of today with razor-sharp electronics.

On the B side, Tabancamn Sapuni channels the raw spirit of the Black Sea one of Anatolias most powerful melodic legacies through a bold fusion of industrial rave and punk energy. Beginning with a 7/8 folk groove and ending in a pounding 4/4 Berlin beat, its a wild journey from the mountains to the dance floor. Within Lalalars hypnotic soundscape, tulum melodies crash into walls of distortion and merge with the pulse of Berlins underground
