Sosyete '25 - Yaygara [Download Included] Vinyl Record

Sosyete '25 announce their debut album Yaygara, arriving Friday 22nd May, a vibrant, groove-led journey through love, liberation and the restless curiosity that fuels desire, humour and connection. Bringing together songwriter and vocalist Merve Erdem (Kit Sebastian), guitarist and producer Glenn Fallows, and producer/multi-instrumentalist Paul Elliott, the trio blend Mediterranean disco-pop, outernational funk and poeticism into a sound that feels both transportive and instinctively alive.Named after the Turkish word for "commotion" or "uproar," Yaygara is steeped in movement. Opening track "Bilmece" drifts through a dreamlike haze as Merve contemplates existence as an unsolvable riddle, anchored by a tough rhythmic pulse and the otherworldly tones of the Lotar. Across previously released singles "Oyun" and "Yan," repetition becomes ritual, grooves lock tight, and emotion unfolds with playful defiance. A limited vinyl edition accompanies the digital release, with Side A carrying tracks 1-5 and Side B collecting the remaining tracks. It's a fitting format for a band whose music feels pressed with warmth, something to flip over, sink into and feel in full colour.
