In the past his perfectionism got in the way, and he never thought his music was good enough, but a Leonardo da Vinci quote &#8211; &#8220;Art is never finished, only abandoned&#8221; &#8211; took away his reluctance to share his work with the world. In fact, the independent artist from Turkey now dived into the imperfection of lo-fi bedroom pop, and in no time he managed to write, play, arrange, record, produce, mix, and master these five shaky songs. Mert sent me an email asking if they&#8217;re good enough, and that you&#8217;re reading this means I replied positively. Uncertainty is not necessary &#8211; I really like this sound, with jangly guitars, appealing melodies, and slightly distorted vocals, and there&#8217;s nothing wrong with the lyrics either. With this talent and work ethic, we could be hearing a lot more good stuff from Styrofawn in the future.
