After 2019’s \u003ci\u003eUzun Havalar\u003c\/i\u003e, the Turkish artist returns with an album that continues to explore a variety of deeply embedded musical traditions while also hurtling into new terrain. The music and influences - as well as the history, culture and geography behind them - that make up Atila as an artist all coalesce to create something entirely new. The result is something that is simultaneously exploring history and tradition, while harnessing innovative modern sounds and techniques. “If there is any tradition I am somehow connected to, or influenced by, then it’s multi- genres,” she says. “Such as Turkish Pop and Arabesk music from this country where I grew up. There is a connection to folk and also French pop or flamenco, Middle Eastern melodies and orchestration, Greek adaptations, Kenny G. solos, American guitars.” This can be heard on \u003ci\u003eFelicita\u003c\/i\u003e, not in as much as you can link up the influences directly but in the way it glides across genres, eschewing convention and predictability along the way, to result in a kaleidoscopic experience. For the album, Atila found a talented roster of Jazz musicians in Istanbul who she recorded on top of her synth productions and field recordings. Soon enough saxophone, drums and strings began to stack up against preset drum loops from vintage organs. It’s a record where woozy psychedelic excursions bleed into dreamy synth lines, immersive ambience and the occasionally disconcerting yet incredibly tactile use of field recordings.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Pingipung","offers":[{"title":"Black | LP","offer_id":50530026324299,"sku":"1149337","price":30.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/a7a2a507-9cc8-4dfa-b2da-f9071e410a66_thumbnail_4096.jpg?v=1728070770"},{"product_id":"la-grande-accumulation","title":"La Grande Accumulation","description":"\u003cp\u003e Anadol and Marie Klock have teamed up for a joint album, \u003ci\u003eLa Grande Accumulation\u003c\/i\u003e. They met two years ago at a festival in England crowded with violent seagulls and outsider musicians. Klock being prone to barking on stage and Anadol not laughing at jokes she doesn’t find funny, they straight away had the intuition that they would meet again. And so they did, a few months later, at Anadol’s studio in Istanbul.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eToday, the two Pingipung artists present the fruit of this musical friendship. \u003ci\u003eLa Grande Accumulation\u003c\/i\u003e was born out of the peculiar atmosphere of the studio neighbourhood in Büyükada, an island where thousands of cats run free and humans randomly destroy things during apocalyptic times when parts of Turkey had just been turned into dust by terrible earthquakes. The French lyrics are inspired by hours of conversations, the music is consequently drenched in absurdity, overflowing with a strong urge to live and enjoy. According to the LP sticker, this album has been certified “Best handshake of 2024”, and stickers never lie.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eLa Grande Accumulation\u003c\/i\u003e brings together Marie Klock's mysterious metaphors and Anadol's intriguing radiophonic psych-pop. Stretching forms beyond common sense to see how long they can resist is probably their favourite game. The result are six highly imaginative tracks that challenge the sub-3-minutes standards of Spotify pop.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eGözen Atila aka Anadol is well known to the Pingipung audience, with three solo LPs on the label. Her music follows a kind of collage logic, she interweaves countless styles, combining field and studio recordings with obscure quotation marks here and there. \"I hope no one will come and explain this music to me, because it's the most beautiful music there is\", says Kristoffer Cornils about her solo album Felicita.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMarie Klock is a French writer and musician who produces songs oscillating between synthpop and neo-folk, full of anarchic humour and existential dread. Her recent solo LP on Pingipung was a captivating tribute to the recently deceased poet Damien Schultz entitled Damien est vivant.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMarie Klock delivers her lyrics in song or spoken word, stream-of-consciousness musings on strange human adventures, and her rich keyboard melodies culminate in a nonchalant dialogue with the bass trombone (La Reine des Bordels). In the opulent opening piece (La Grande Accumulation), a woman is cursed to take home everything she kicks in the street; a bit later, we stumble upon a ghoul hiding in the gutter (Sirop amer), Mona Lisa loses her teeth (Sonate au Jambon) and a warthog struggles to climb the stairs of a silver tower (Sabots triviaux).\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eLa Grande Accumulation\u003c\/i\u003e was mixed and mastered by Jonas Romann at Chaos Compressor Club in Hamburg and cut to vinyl by Kassian Troyer at D\u0026amp;M in Berlin. It's an audiophile LP that invites to focus on every detail in this heap of musical ideas.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Pingipung","offers":[{"title":"Black LP","offer_id":50531876569419,"sku":"2220877","price":32.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/PINGIPUNG086_8d683b34_thumbnail_4096.jpg?v=1728112807"}],"url":"https:\/\/shop.roughtrade.com\/collections\/anadol.oembed","provider":"Rough Trade","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
