“A contemporary spin on the golden era of Turkish psychedelia wearing its influences on it’s sleeve but with a respectful nod to the masters”
Cherrystones — NTS, Jazzman, Touch Sensitive
“Amazing debut album where Psychedelic Turkish Rock is beautifully blending with Folk, Pop and Eastern Groove. It’s really hard to believe that MLDVA is from Poland! Another strong release from Shapes of Rhythm.”
Adrian Magrys — Lanquidity Records, Radio d59b
“As a Turk I'm partial to a release like this, but even if I wasn't I'd think this is carrying the torch rather nicely for the psych sounds coming out of Anatolia circa the 60s and 70s”
Kerem Gokmen — Dubmission (WYEP Pittsburgh)
“Love this!! Proper Turkish psych sounding goodness.”
Chris Welch — Sounds Like This 93.2FM Sheffield Live / www.sheffieldlive.org

Jay Scarlett — Sounds supreme

Formed in 2013, they started out as a DJ production outfit, but gradually morphed into a full band as they absorbed influences from '70s Turkish and Greek folk traditions, garage psychedelia, soul-jazz and funk — and here comes their landmark debut album. Eerie yet beautiful modern Turkish psych grooves, a light, meditative ensemble sound that shares common ground with the likes of Khruangbin, plus a spiritual-jazz cosmic feel underscored by striking electric piano — a release well worth your attention. Six tracks in all. Out on London's Shapes Of Rhythm, who keep the ambitious releases coming. (Original Japanese text by COMPUMA)
