Hayvanlar Alemi

Hayvanlar Alemi is a Turkish psychedelic rock band known for their mind-bending fusion of Anatolian folk traditions and trippy, effects-laden instrumentals. Formed in Ankara in the early 2000s, the band’s name translates to "Animal Kingdom" and their sound lives up to that wild, untamed vibe—think electrified saz riffs colliding with wah-wah pedals and hypnotic rhythms. They’ve become cult favorites in global psychedelic circles, releasing albums like *Psychedelia in Times of Turbulence* and *Altın Serüvenler / 15 Golden Adventures* that channel retro Turkish rock vibes through a modern, experimental lens. With albums like *Gaga* and countless DIY cassette releases, they’ve carved out a niche as Turkey’s answer to far-out, genre-blurring acts like King Gizzard or Acid Mothers Temple. No vocals, just pure instrumental freakouts built for desert road trips or late-night headphone sessions.
