Güner Künier’s new Album „Yaramaz“ is out on Flirt 99 today. The album title is a Turkish word; translated literally, it means something like „good-for-nothing.“ The term is often used towards small children when they are being cheeky and rebellious. Güner Künier named her second album „Yaramaz“ to tell her own coming-of-age story through the means of punk and post-punk. Post-punk and minimal/synth-wave are the main musical reference points on „Yaramaz,“ but there are many other (sub)genres that have left their mark. Expansive shoegaze sounds, a touch of krautrock and also echoes of riot grrrl. Overall, „Yaramaz“ sounds like an empowering album with a simple yet important message: follow your own path and don’t let anything deter you.
Güner Künier will be touring throughout Europe with her three-piece band in April/May, all dates are here.
