The band are a renowned live act with strings of sold-out shows on three continents, whose recordings are marked by muscular grooves and vibrant melodies. 'Yol', their third album in as many years - and the follow-up to their GRAMMY nominated second album 'Gece' - excitedly continues that trend; while also digging in deep to unveil a new palette of sonic surprises.

“Ordunun Dereleri” – the debut single from 'Yol' - is a reimagining of a traditional Turkish folk song, a classical love story about two doomed lovers, that showcases the band’s thrilling shift towards a synth-driven Europop sound. Mysterious and atmospheric, the track features down-tempo electro beats, majestic synths and Erdinç Ecevit's yearning vocals of unrequited love. The single comes accompanied by the band’s very first narrative video, a gorgeous clip shot in the forests of the Netherlands.
The new album 'Yol' will be released on 26 February 2021.
