Ersen 2 - Omur Biter Yollar Bitmez

Pharaway Sounds present a reissue of Ersen's second album Ersen 2 - Ömür Biter Yollar Bitmez, originally released in 1978. Go back to Anatolia once more and hear the unhinged guitar and electric baglama behind Turkish psychedelia's charismatic singer Ersen. He was discovered by Cem Karaca, was connected to Moğollar and 3 Hür-El, and even switched backing bands with Cem before finally hitting the charts with his own group Dadaşlar. There are loads of B sides and burly moves on these '70s singles which make up his second LP. Wicked funk drums, fuzzy guitars, organs, and the powerful voice of Ersen. Includes "Zalim", the killer psych-funk track made famous by Gaslamp Killer's edit. Ersen's very last name, Dinleten, means "listen", and that's exactly what you should do. Original artwork; Includes insert with liner notes by Angela Sawyer (Weirdo Records).
