She Past Away

'She Past Away' is a prominent Turkish post-punk and darkwave band, formed in 2006 by Volkan Caner (vocals, guitar) and İdris Akbulut (bass). The band's music is characterized by its dark and haunting tones, blending 80s gothic aesthetics with modern darkwave influences. 

​

Their debut album, 'Belirdi Gece,' was released in 2012 and instantly gained a cult following among the underground music scene. The album's success was largely driven by its distinctive sound, which combined gloomy guitar melodies with Turkish lyrics, a rarity in the predominantly English-speaking genre.

​

In 2015, the band released their second album, 'Narin Yalnızlık,' solidifying their status in the global darkwave scene. Their music has been described as melancholic and nostalgic, with themes often revolving around existential despair, melancholy, and romantic longing.

​

In 2019, Akbulut left the band and was replaced by Doruk Öztürkcan. Despite the lineup change, 'She Past Away' continues to tour internationally and produce new music, maintaining their unique place in the post-punk and darkwave genre.

​

As of today, 'She Past Away' is hailed as a staple in the darkwave scene, with their innovative blend of Turkish lyrics and dark, post-punk soundscapes. Their music continues to resonate with fans around the world, offering a fresh perspective in a genre dominated by Western influences.
