Güner Künier

„Yaramaz“ is a Turkish word; translated literally, it means something like „good-for-nothing.“ The term is often used towards small children when they are being cheeky and rebellious. Güner Künier named her second album „Yaramaz“ to tell her own coming-of-age story through the means of punk and post-punk. Post-punk and minimal/synth-wave are the main musical reference points on „Yaramaz,“ but there are many other (sub)genres that have left their mark. Expansive shoegaze sounds, a touch of krautrock and also echoes of riot grrrl. Overall, „Yaramaz“ sounds like an empowering album with a simple yet important message: follow your own path and don’t let anything deter you.

Güner Künier was born in Izmir, Turkey, in 1990 and moved at the age of three with her family to Flensburg, where she also grew up. As a teenager she played in her first bands. After completing her studies in industrial engineering in Berlin she devoted herself entirely to art and worked as an actress and musician. In the early 2020s she started to make music solo. Her debut EP was released in 2021, a year after her first album “Aşk”.

Egg Idiot

You don’t have to be a genius to figure out what kind of sonic wares a dude who goes by Egg Idiot is peddling. But that doesn’t mean this gooey Leipzig freak is a one-note act. Over the 16 tracks that make up this debut LP—composed of re-recordings of songs from earlier cassettes—you’ll be taken on quite the lo-fi journey. Yes, you can expect plenty of squiggly power-poppin egg punk in the vein of Cherry Cheeks or Billiam, but you’ll also come across some denser polyrhythmic numbers not too far from something off an early Uranium Club release, a couple of slacker rock jams, what sounds like a contemporary take on ‘90s cassette punk, and even some stuff that borders on oddball industrial. This maybe isn’t a record for the easily annoyed. But you gotta imagine a dude dressed as a giant egg wouldn’t have it any other way. (Alex Howell)
