First extract via from the next to come album on Teenage Menopause Records, by belgian soundcrafting experimentator Tzii and Istanbul pluridisciplinary artist/singer Hilal Can.
Fragments of ghosts, shattered memories, impossible romance—« Hayalet Kırıkları » drifts between dream and dissociation.
Born in Istanbul, where voices and street sounds collide with spectral echoes, the album reshapes fragments of Turkish songs into a haunted, timeless collection.
Hilal Can’s incandescent voice rises from within these fogged recollections, a vessel of intimacy and rupture, while Tzii sculpts vast soundscapes that feel both tender and unrelenting. Together, they create a music that lives in-between—between memory and invention, love and absence, presence and disappearance.
On two tracks, violinist Ruben Tenenbaum deepens the trance, weaving modal improvisations into the cracks of this fragile world.
The result is an album that feels like a diary written in smoke—half-remembered, half-invented, always shimmering on the edge of reality. .studio : vocals
