{"product_id":"baba-zula-xxx","title":"Baba Zula - XXX","description":"\u003cp\u003eThree decades into their extraordinary journey, the legendary Istanbul-based collective BaBa ZuLa return with \u003cem\u003eXXX\u003c\/em\u003e – a hypnotic, uncompromising and undeniably vital statement of artistic freedom. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWeaving together shapeshifting rhythms, hypnotic saz-driven atmospherics, and deep sonic rituals, the new album celebrates a band that has spent the past thirty years continuously redefining the possibilities of Turkish psychedelic music. There are few groups in contemporary music whose work becomes more unpredictable with time. Fewer still who, after thirty years of existence, sound more adventurous, stranger and more radical than ever before. BaBa ZuLa belong to that rare category. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTheir music long ago transcended the boundaries of psychedelic rock, evolving into a singular sonic universe where Anatolian traditions collide with dub, electronics, performance art, avant-garde aesthetics and ritualistic trance. It is no coincidence that over the years they have collaborated with visionary artists such as Mad Professor, Jaki Liebezeit of Can, members of Faust and Einstürzende Neubauten, and Warren Ellis of Nick Cave \u0026amp; The Bad Seeds. Each encounter left its trace, yet none altered the essence of the band. BaBa ZuLa have remained committed to their own path — restless, exploratory and defiantly resistant to fashions and definitions. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003eXXX\u003c\/em\u003e is the latest chapter in that story. The album moves through dreamlike narratives, social commentary and contemporary mythologies. Pulsating rhythms, transformed saz textures, analogue electronics and hypnotic grooves create a space where reality and imagination dissolve into one another. True to form, \u003cem\u003eXXX\u003c\/em\u003e balances instrumental excursions and exploratory taksims with a series of original texts that are unmistakably BaBa ZuLa’s own. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBy turns playful, visionary and fiercely political, they draw connections between folklore, urban life, ecology, memory and resistance, grounding the album’s sonic adventures in a deeply human narrative.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Glitterbeat","offers":[{"title":"Transparent Orange LP","offer_id":51643981299990,"sku":"RMX-72314","price":24.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"CD","offer_id":51643981332758,"sku":"RMX-72315","price":14.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0839\/7750\/2998\/files\/6a71a27bdb75d5515dd2607c.jpg?v=1785837741","url":"https:\/\/resident-music-uk.myshopify.com\/products\/baba-zula-xxx","provider":"Resident Music UK","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
