From 60's revival, garage-punk, mod-beat via americana & neo-psych to some recently releases of unusual mixes like the hypnotic psychedelic grooves of the Dengue Fever sung in Khmer and the psych-indie-pop diamonds of the Palmiyeler sung in Turkish. Genres: Instrumental Surf Rock, Garage-punk, Mod-beat, Americana, Neo-psych, British Pop (in the retro meaning of pop).
