about

“The new sound of Istanbul.” – The Guardian

“Gaye Su Akyol has revived a style of music and she uses it to comment poetically on her country.”
– New York Times

“A Turkish firecracker on the edge of a lot of things there right now. Her album is bitchin'” – Iggy Pop (BBC 6 Music)

Growing up in cosmopolitan Istanbul and listening to Anatolian music icon Selda Bağcan and Kurt Cobain in equal measure, singer/songwriter/producer Gaye Su Akyol’s thrilling combination of Turkish psych and universal rock and roll has in a short span of time made her a force to reckon with on the global music scene.

Two years after the release of her wildly acclaimed third album “İstikrarlı Hayal Hakikattir,” Gaye returns with a powerful EP and focus single (both out on October 30th). Gaye’s last few years have been a whirlwind of activity filled with high profile festival appearances (Roskilde, WOMAD, Le Guess Who?), critical raves from global taste-makers like Pitchfork and The Wire, feature profiles in The Guardian and The New York Times, and the coveted BEST ARTIST Award from Songlines in 2019. She’s also received strong support from major radio broadcasters (BBC, FIP, WDR Cosmo, KEXP etc.).

“Yort Savul: İSYAN MANİFESTOSU! (Get Out of the Way: REBELLION MANIFESTO!)” contains three trailblazing and stylistically diverse new songs. The composition, lyrics and production on the album all belong to “GSA” herself and in that sense, it is a first for her. Gaye has been the co-producer of her past albums, but this EP is her first shot as a full-time producer and thus marks a new threshold in her musical career. It is also a bearer of good news and promise for her upcoming album due out in the spring of 2021.

The hooky, amped-up single “İSYAN MANİFESTOSU (REBELLION MANIFESTO) is possibly her most rock and roll moment yet. It is a song that defends and celebrates the liberating nature of rebellious acts, at a time, when the political climate in the world disregards individualization and views the bulk of society as detrimental masses that need to be controlled. This is a timeless musical journey that melds the firm and sporadically melting infrastructure of 70’s psychedelia, acid rock and progressive music with Anatolian music, classical Turkish music scales and vocal techniques and beats that bear a futuristic touch. In other words: forward-looking and uncompromised Gaye Su Akyol.
