Ersen - Want It All

Ersen

2008 reissue of this underground gem, an album that defies categorisation. But for all intents and multi-purposes, this record is a Folk album. Embodying all the aesthetic watermarks of a private press Country LP, Selda's debut long player from 1976 has masqueraded as lamb dressed as mutton, throwing many a discerning wolf from the gourmet scent. Behold! Space age, Anatolian, electronic, progressive-protest, psych-folk-funk-rock from the Middle East. All of the above ingredients are presented immaculately with up-most authenticity and conviction to create a delectable hybrid concoction which has never been replicated or equaled in the 3 mutant decades since its recording.
