Istanbul-based independent artist Can Demirok celebrates his love for certain scenes that are at risk of being lost in the stream of history by making them no longer exclusive to their most dedicated followers. TMLSK shapes its sound by drawing inspiration from familiar names like My Bloody Valentine, Interpol, Jesus and Mary Chain and classic rock bands like The Kinks and The Rolling Stones. By adapting these influences to the present day, he hopes to share his love for not only the big names, but also the bands that are an important part of underground music culture.

 

This new track, Just a Thrill, is an exuberant and energetic homage to the alternative rock and indie genres. With a powerful bass riff played by Matt Loftin and high guitar melodies reminiscent of Happy Mondays, it manages to balance melancholy and pessimism with energetic movement. This latest single reveals Demirok's deep love for the music he is inspired by and his desire to inherit this cult and bring it to a new fan base. In this track, Demirok takes the listener on an emotional and euphoric journey towards the end of the song with his misty vocals that carry both a sad tiredness and a rebellious energy.
