Born in Turkey, with spells spent in Miami and New York, and now settled in Glasgow, Isik Kural has collected quite a set of stories in his time. On his third outing Moon in Gemini, Kural encourages the listener to "daydream as-deep-as-possible". Fourteen tender folk songs, plucked and sung, and augmented gorgeously by flutist Tenzin Stephen, harpist Kirstin McCarlie and clarinet player Giulia Tamborino. Sublime stuff. - Flying Out
Isik Kural's Moon in Gemini is a luminous scrapbook of slow-flowing narratives couched in intuitive and symbolic storytelling. Awash in woodwinds and strings, lullaby-inflected lyrics and tender imagery, Isik's voice moves closer to the listener's ear on his third album, intoning states of being in which the wonder filled sound of everyday life can be heard and felt. Moon in Gemini is a space for wide daydreaming, where the invisible steps forward and dauntless ghosts play under a hazy lunar light.
