BIBLO - ON UGLINESS (LP)

"Pop music had been an intensity-thing once, as to follow the legend, but as time passed it just started to quote and copy the erstwhile forms in a void way. The latter has never been exactly accurate, especially regarding the developments in the less noted niches. One example for that is provided by the amalgamations of folk-traditions, vanguard experiments, improvisation and outsider art, as they have boomed in the last years with acts like Inca Ore, Pocahaunted and Kuupuu. Also in the music of the composer, singer, bass-guitarist and laptop-musician Pinar Üzeltüzenci aka Biblo from Istanbul - a sister in mind of all the acts mentioned above - you feel the intensity again and again in an almost painful way when it peeps through the curtain of drones and noise. Her lost in reverie vocals leave you irritated and in love." (label info)
