From Izmir in Turkey to Flensburg in northern Germany and vibrant Berlin: No matter where Güner Künier has spent her life, it's always her deep-rooted fascination with underground culture that inspires and drives her music. Influenced early on by bands such as Sonic Youth and Hole, the sound of her debut album "Aşk" (Turkish for "love"), released in 2022, is equally unpolished and raw, but also carefully produced at every point. The synthpunk tracks have a more brittle signature than meandering dream pop numbers, minimal wave is more contoured than the full-on post-punk reflections - yet everything fits together like the superimposed images in the atmospheric video for the single "Excellent Choices". It is precisely this diversity, coupled with the unconventional vocal performance of the busy artist, that makes Güner Künier stand out among current artists in the Berlin scene. Make sure you put it in your diary.
