Palmiyeler

Palmiyeler stands for soothing melodies, cinematic landscapes and groovy beats. They maintain a distinct style, blending garage-rock classicism with some cinematic touch, the Turkish quartet explore dark themes under a breezy Mediterranean sunny feel, the end result sounding pretty smooth, like Steely Dan writing for The Jesus & Mary Chain. Surf guitar licks leading to often lethargic, gospel-based tunes that recall early-Spiritualized or late Velvet Underground, alternate with West Coast '70s soft-rock, sub-funky beats and soulful vocals.
