Variously described by reviewers as "trippy", "dreamy", "cinematic", "stylishly hip" and "deeply exotic", Toronto’s award winning Minor Empire takes listeners on an Anatolian inspired voyage of the imagination.
Minor Empire’s sound is defined by the dreamy vocals of Ozgu Ozman which soar above a bed of pulsating grooves and organic instrumentation to create the airy psychedelic vibe. Exclaim praised the group for its “slinky, duby, knotty Turkish rhythms”. Le Devoir called their sound “refined” and said “Ozman weaves a most beautiful music from her Turkish roots”. Songlines UK praised “Ozman’s pure and sinuous vocals” and the “percussion that simmers with delicious intensity”. CBC Radio said, Minor Empire has “marked an important way forward for Turkish and world music”. Milo Miles (NPR, Rolling Stone, NY Times) deemed their Uprooted album the best release of 2018.
