I don't know much about offstream music in Turkey (or even mainstream with only the old pop star Tarkan coming to my mind) so it's always a pleasure to discover an exciting new band from the region. And so it is the case with Thy Pallor, Turkish band that attempts to mix the aggressive sound of black metal with synth-heavy blackgaze. They just debuted with an EP entitled Cafuné.
The band has a straightforward mission as "they are here to make you feel sentimental, yet heartwarming". And so they keep their music in the style of flow-rich synthgaze, a genre that is known for the fact that it's almost impossible to stop listening to its silk-smooth compositions that rely on guitar and synthesizer sound cooperation. This is spiced by very black metal-like vocals and this lo-fi atmosphere that always brings a lot of honesty and intimacy to the music. And although it is said to be focused on the melancholic atmosphere (which works especially where accompanied by lovely backing vocals in Ashen), there's a fair number of melodic riffs that make the whole EP a heavy and catchy thing.
Cafuné costs 3 USD.
