Kim Ki O - Bir Iki

Facts 2014 release from the Turkish duo. The name of the band means 'Who is that anyway' in Turkish, and it reflects the ethereal nature of the sounds - a lovely early '80s slow and somber electronic vibe (think Joy Division) combined with floaty, minimal lady vocals (sort of 4AD-ish like Cocteau Twins and Lush) - sweet, but not saccharine. These ten early tracks are a great addition to their catalog. Not content with music, film and drama, Sanac and Gol are also involved in Turkey's pro-democracy and women's/gay rights movement. They strongly identify with other women in rock 'n' roll and underground culture.
