After what seems like a decade of detective work, Finders Keepers finally have the privilege to introduce the incredible music of one of the most important figures in Anadolu rock history, Ersen. The music on this self titled 'Ersen' album defies categorisation, but for all intents and purposes, this record is a folk album. Embodying all the aesthetic watermarks of a private press country LP, Selda?s debut long player from 1976 has masqueraded as lamb dressed as mutton, throwing many a discerning wolf from the gourmet scent. Behold space age, Anatolian, electronic, progressive-protest, psych-folk-funk-rock from the Middle East. All of the above ingredients are presented immaculately with up-most authenticity and conviction to create a delectable hybrid concoction which has never been replicated or equalled in the 3 mutant decades since it?s recording. After what seems like a decade of cross-continental detective work and blind alley buffoonery, Finders Keepers finally have the auspicious privilege to introduce the incredible music Ersen. Having performed nearly every kind of Turkish music throughout his eventful life (rock, pop, folk, arabesque) it is his early years (late 60s/early 70?s) that are of particular interest to break-heavy-fuzz-loving vinyl vultures the world over. Working with names such as Kardaslar, Dadaslar, Mogollar, Uc Hurel has cemented Ersen's position as one of the leading lights in Turkey's fledging psychedelic scene legendary with collectors and DJs such as Madlib, David Holmes, Gruff Rhys (Super Furry Animals), Beyond The Wizards Sleeve and many more.
