About
Bored of the boundaries of western pop music, the boys of Swiss Psychedelic-World-Rock, Saitün question solidified structures in their earlier artistic work, and explore new possibilities.
That diversity of genres and cultural identities is woven into a playful firework. Releasing two singles with English and Turkish titles in 2018 « 4 Matches On Tinder/Dort Maç Üzerinde Tinder» and « Stomach Is A Graveyard/Midem Bir Mezarlık», they perform on several festival stages in Switzerland. Later, Saitün drop their debut full-length album Al’Azif in 2022.
You’ll listen to their songs and realize a « we don’t give a fuck» attitude that is rare in Switzerland: their lyrics are witty and humorous, eastern influences are prominently arranged with psychedelic tunes and stoner rock, making you wonder whether the guys are originally from İstanbul or really from Basel. Apparently, nobody gives a fuck.
