After several years of intense world wide touring, the post-punk duo She Past Away returned to the studio. The haunting 2024 single İnziva stirred anticipation of the next chapter in the band’s kinetic journey. Mizantrop is the eagerly awaited seven track LP. Mizantrop is indeed a solitary and reclusive listen.

She Past Away maintains its signature atmospheric melancholic post-punk sound driven by a nimble bass motor. The somber music and wistful Turkish lyrics on Mizantrop bring forth the human condition’s darker corners. The contemplative opening track İçimdeki Düşman and the vigorous title track set the mood of introversion and reflection. Later titles Sessiz Orman, Kaygan Kayalıklar and Kuyu Mezar translate to “Silent Forest”, “Slippery Cliffs”, and “Rock Tomb”, all places evocative of isolation and loneliness, places one might visit for withdrawal and seclusion. İnziva is the self determined retreat.

Like the previous She Past Away albums Belirdi Gece (2012) and Narin Yalnızlı (2015) Mizantrop closes with an instrumental İçe Kapanış III, the most hopeful closure in the series.

LP / Digital Album

It’s been almost four years since the release of the band’s sophomore album “Narin Yalnızlık”. Since then Turkish duo has established themselves as one of the most influential and successful genre-defining acts throughout the World. Already having scored numerous crowd-puller performances all around the world, She Past Away now graces the audience with a beautifully dark and driving new album “Disko Anksiyete”.

Experimenting old-new aesthetic of synth music into their core guitar stuff, She Past Away surveys a sound, a look, and a sensibility which will sweep the audience through a dense, continual, epic trip. “Disko Anksiyete” drags the band into a somber yet piercing mood than usual, mocking up modernist fears and doubts in their iconic 80’s influenced sound with songs about dancefloor anxiety, desperation, and dilemmas.

The album offers 10 songs with well-crafted synth lines, calmly echoing vocals and liquid guitar melodies in an emotional build sparkling through the foreground. Across soul-crushingly intense and wistful songs and odes in Turkish lyrics, the band also depicts their music in Spanish with “La Maldad” – which is the band’s first ever Spanish song.
