Understand
Gaye Su Akyol
Courage. Bravery. Daring. Everything on Anadolu Ejderi – the «Anatolian Dragon» – breathes fire. It takes chances, the lyrics offer an exploration of politics in today’s Turkey.
In a political climate where a woman's commitment to her passion, to falling in love, to her sexual identity is revolutionary enough, she is deeply passionate and able to express her love freely.
Already lauded for her startling, innovative mix of Turkish psychedelia, folk songs, surf music, and 90s Western rock - a global sweet spot where Anatolian music heroine Selda Bağcan rubbed shoulders with Kurt Cobain - GSA expands her vision. The new album is the awakening of a mythological dragon from a deep sleep. The simultaneous transformation of millions of cells into an organism, waiting for a sign in its cave. A resistance that reiterates that the only remedy against pure evil is collective action, in a fairy tale where everyone has to learn to be their own superhero.
