Outernational pop group
Derya Yıldırım & Grup Şimşek
unveil the second and final part of their double-album and collect both parts here on CD. Once again, their subtle and groovy Anatolian psych folk sound matches the powerful quality of the songs often led by Yıldırım's sublime vocals and bağlama (Turkish lute). With
Dost 2
, the band have broadened their songwriting horizons and refined their idiosyncratic arrangement skills. Most of
Dost 2
's material was composed by the band, with two notable tracks composed by guitarist flautist
Antonin Voyant
whose melodic work brings the music to a non-nostalgic, yet deep and meaningful place. The lyrics were penned by Derya Yıldırım in collaboration with Berlin based writer
Duygu Ağal
, adding another string to Grup Şimşek's bow. Here they captured a lively, unique piece of interpretation which connects to the meaning of "Dost" as the text inserted inside explains: "
Dost
is a friend, a comrade, a brother, a sister and even more than that.
Dost
is the connection to keep this life and world meaningful". Derya Yıldırım & Grup Şimşek bring sounds, people, and emotions together.
