This feels like an interesting side effect to all the hipsters getting into vinyl back in the 00s-10s. They ran out of western vinyl and moved onto the ethnic stuff, which is leading to this resurgence of second/3rd generation immigrants being embraced by people in the host country to get access to turkish (or ethnic) culture.

It's nice for me to see more turkish faces and music forms being embraced online. It does feel like a repetition of Anadolu Rock , which has been hit and miss for me. Lots of turkish music I ran into was not quite in my wheelhouse growing up, since it seemed too slow or depressing, or poppy. I've grown more into our traditional and western fusion stuff later on, and it's been nice.

It also feels strange seeing microtonal stuff being embraced by different kinds of mainstream (ish) western musicians, outside of what I saw in the 00s with heavy fusion bands like Secret Chiefs 3, Screaming Headless Torsos or Consider the Source. Even Jute Gyte.

Bands like King Lizard and the Wizard Gizzard or Angine De Poitrine are treating it a lot more straightforward, alongside the more literal re-embrace like Altın Gün and this band. It feels like part of the more general Psychadelic rock and riff driven metal resurgence, wheras the bands before were more experimental and progressive to achieve new ideas; and a more general "pure experimental" approach used in classical music where they used microtonal music to make generally uncomfortable, unapproachable drones.

Anyway, obligatory microtonal music grid plug :

EDIT : If you enjoy this stuff, you should try some of the forebears; Erkin Koray, Cem Karaca, Bariş Manço, MFÖ, and Moğollar.
