SELDA - Selda, FINDERS KEEPERS

BACK IN STOCK. Now available on vinyl. Finders Keepers continues in it's mission to unearth some of the finest treasures the Western world has never seen with this incredible 1976 album from Turkish radical folk singer Selda Bagcan. Part of Finders Keepers' 'Anatolian Invasion' series, this particular record stirred up quite a fuss among the world's Turkish communities on it's release, achieving a certain notoriety for Selda herself as she proclaimed unashamedly her thoughts on freedom of speech and quality of life. So it's political, we've got that down, but since most of us don't speak any Turkish we need to get hooked on the music itself, which mercifully isn't a tough task. Harnessing the genre-bending talents of a number of Turkish musical free-thinkers she managed to conjure up a record that was equal parts experimental and pure Middle Eastern pop, blending elements of folk, psych, rock, prog and proto-electronica. To be quite honest this is a record that simply has to be heard to be believed, Selda's voice is a marvel and complemented by such peculiar backing tracks produces a record that stands head and shoulders over the competition. There seems to be a bubbling of interest in Middle Eastern psych at the moment, but I must say that Selda's debut album is a real eye-opener. You don't have to know anything about psychedelic folk or Middle Eastern pop to glean enjoyment from Selda, this is inclusive, intense, hugely enjoyable music and is as essential as they come. Just buy it.
