Gaye Su Akyol is a charismatic musician and visual artist from Istanbul. Her distinctive sound is influenced by traditional and popular Turkish music, psychedelia, surf rock and more. Her lyrics are metaphorical, often obliquely critical. The Guardian called her a "glittering, poetic presence amid the repressive atmosphere of today’s Turkey." She joins us to give us a taste of her musical philosophy and introduce her latest album,
Anadolu Ejderi (Anatolian Dragon), on
Glitterbeat.
