The Turkish-born, London-based musician and producer Yigit Bülbül is releasing his debut album "Fever" on Pingipung. The multi-instrumentalist, who has learned his craft with various interesting artists and bands in London over the past 10 years, knows how to create his own contemporary avant-garde pop projections with a rich musical heritage from the 1980s and 90s. His style breaks out into funny, absurd moments of synth blurps, percussive extravagance and nervous horns. It's always colorful and trippy, but in an easy way. That is exactly what we want to publish in a year of need. The album is framed by two contemplative tracks that are reminiscent of Holger Czukay's oeuvre. The saxophone in the title track "The Heath" sways like an introverted lead in meditation. The long and carefully designed ambient outro "Txalaparta" contains a spoken word sample by the Basque musician Txomin Artola from 1978. The four tracks at the heart of the album are beat-driven, percussion-heavy, full of synthesizers and random horn samples. "Alo?" sounds like Snakefinger is trying to make a Skype call with Serge Gainsbourg. "Cacti All Over My Head" could be a ween instrumental with long, curved synth lines over a slowed bossa nova beat.
