**Turkish Delight** is an Istanbul-based indie rock trio blending Anatolian folk motifs with psychedelic rock textures. Emerging in the mid-2010s, the group—fronted by multi-instrumentalist Deniz Akyıldız—gained traction for their hypnotic saz riffs layered over motorik rhythms, earning comparisons to Turkish retro-rock pioneers like 3 Hürel. Their 2018 breakthrough album *Kardan Adam* (recently remastered) crystallized their signature mix of 70s Turkish protest folk revivalism and shoegaze atmospherics. Tracks like "Mavi" and "Ferah" showcase their knack for transforming traditional *türkü* vocal cadences into swirling, reverb-drenched mantras. While maintaining a cult following in Turkey's alternative circuits, their 2023 single "Narval" saw unexpected TikTok virality, introducing their cross-generational sound to global psychedelia enthusiasts.
