About The Away Days

"The sublime shoegaze riffage of 'Your Colour' yearns for the days of Ride and Slowdive, but still sounds like a product of 2014" -NME Magazine "Turkish shoegaze might not be a major phenomenon, but given the breadth of their talent, it soon could be." -Guardian "New cut 'Your Colour' matches a blissful, soaring sonic sweep to songwriting with a real dynamism. It's this dichotomy of the physical with the cerebral, the chilled out with the searingly intense which powers The Away Days, taking them away from that well-worn shoegaze sound and into an area very much their own." -Clash ''The Away Days project a shimmering, head-swaying spell with lax energy, punchy drums, and lead singer Oguz Can Ozen's affected, distant vocals.'' -SPIN ''The dream-pop band is bringing back 2006 Brooklyn by way of Istanbul.'' -NOISEY After being formed in 2012 their success didn't go unnoticed and they performed at dozens of live shows including The Newcomers Festival, where they were pointed out as a promising young act.
