Pingipung / Germany / 2023
Hatıralar was Anadol's second album, originally composed between Berlin and Istanbul around 2012 and released years later only in digital format on the Ankara-based label Inverted Spectrum. The title Hatıralar (Memories) is a self-fulfilling prophecy. Anadol recalled and revisited the music in 2023, gently editing and mixing the compositions for the newly mastered LP format in which they now see the light of day. Hatıralar represents an early version of the melodic, instrumental synth-pop that Anadol refined on her album Uzun Havalar (2019) before exploring the more free, Krautrock-inspired musique concrète of her last album Felicita (2021).
