She Past Away in New York

She Past Away is a Turkish post-punk band formed in Bursa in 2006. Its darkwave sound pairs stark guitar lines, synthesizers and electronic rhythms with Turkish-language vocals. The band is known for songs including “Ritüel” and “Kasvetli Kutlama,” as well as the albums Belirdi Gece, Narin Yalnızlık and Disko Anksiyete. Wave-Gotik-Treffen in Leipzig has hosted She Past Away, and the band later performed at Cruel World in Pasadena. These appearances placed its live set on two major festival programs devoted to post-punk, goth and alternative music. The concert format is built around Volkan Caner’s vocals and guitar, while Doruk Öztürkcan handles synthesizers and electronic rhythm.
