"‘###’ is an increasingly engaging piece of work. It a further winning demonstration of Baba Zula’s ethos of refusing to repeat themselves, always producing something new, and engaging with their environment."
- Silent Radio // BaBa ZuLa - ### (🔥 OUT THIS FRIDAY 🔥)

Turkish psych has become a more familiar genre in recent years, its sonorous use of electric saz giving a distinct take on Western rock music. While that style is now easily recognisable, over the course of three decades Baba Zula has been determined to push it into way more adventurous, experimenta...

✨ NEW ALBUM ANNOUNCEMENT ✨
Ana Lua Caiano • Devagar Que A Vida É Curta
Out November 6, 2026 on Glitterbeat Records

Entering a new phase in her acclaimed artistic journey, the Portuguese singer, musician, producer, and composer Ana Lua Caiano returns with an exhilarating second album that expands and deepens the singular musical language she has been shaping in recent years—one where Portuguese folk tradition collides with electronics, rhythmic experimentation, lyrical rebellion and an intensely physical vocal presence.

Today, she shares the second single from the album: “Um Mais Um”. A dense song that explores the theme of death — the idea that every “foot that walks on the floor digs a grave.” Despite the weight of the subject, the song is rhythmic and energetic, deeply rooted in both traditional and electronic sounds. Its central idea is to exorcise the darkest parts of life through rhythm and music.

Devagar Que A Vida É Curta is available to pre-order / pre-save now (link in comments).

"For Assikel, [Tamikrest] turn in a set of classically minded gitarra joints. It's a gentle, elegant offering, graced on the brooding "Eillal" by Tinariwen founder Ibrahim Ag Alhabib, but there is a still space for some burnt out Sahelian Knopflerism on cuts like "Imanin" or the opener "Adagh Oyantid”.”

"On ###, BaBa ZuLa refine their shapeshifting hybrid of motorik, trance, dub and oriental mystery into an eco-manifesto with birdsong and other natural sounds woven into the mix. "Cirtlak 9" sounds like "Set The Controls For The Heart Of The Sun" filtered through a Middle Eastern souk, while on the mesmerising "Kutsal Zeytin Halayi" the voices of Murat Ertel and Esma Ertel intertwine to champion Mother Nature and chant down drill-baby-drill corporate greed.”
