Palmiyeler, a vibrant ensemble hailing from the heart of Turkey, has been crafting their signature blend of melodic surf rock and dreamy psychedelic pop since their inception in 2013 in Istanbul. The band, whose name translates to "Palm Trees" in English, consists of lead vocalist and guitarist Bilge Kösebalaban, guitarist Barış Konyalı, bassist Tarık Töre, and Rana Uludağ on drums. Their music, characterized by jangly guitars, groovy rhythms, and haunting synths, pays homage to the golden age of psychedelic rock while infusing it with a modern twist that resonates with contemporary audiences.

Their discography ranges from reflective ballads to upbeat anthems, evident in songs like "Ne Kadar Sevsen De" with its poignant lyricism, and "İstanbul (Remixes)" where they reimagine their tunes through innovative soundscapes. The band has navigated themes from the whimsical to the socially conscious, as showcased in works like "Masum Bir Kedi" and the rebellious "Yakalım Alışveriş Merkezlerini". Albums such as "Ben-Hür (2019-2020)" encapsulate their growth and the evolution of their sound over the years, securing their place in the Turkish indie music scene and capturing hearts beyond their home country. Palmiyeler continues to chart their journey with gusto, offering a unique musical experience that's as refreshing as a sea breeze on the sun-kissed coast of the Mediterranean.
