Description:

Lull was an independent Turkish culture, arts, and music magazine published in the early 2000s, focusing on alternative music, cinema, literature, and popular culture. Through artist interviews, album reviews, and film criticism, it explored international music scenes and unconventional artistic perspectives, offering Turkish readers a distinctive look at contemporary culture.

This Turkish-language issue, dated January 2002, is identified as the magazine’s second issue and features Beth Gibbons of Portishead alongside The Strokes on the cover. The magazine explores Portishead’s musical roots, their distinctive place in trip-hop, and the story of how Beth Gibbons and Geoff Barrow came together. It also examines Radiohead’s live performance dynamics and experiences with concert albums, while a feature on The Strokes looks at their breakthrough debut album Is This It and the band’s growing popularity in the United Kingdom. Cinema is represented by an examination of Michael Haneke’s filmmaking approach, social criticism, and acclaimed film The Piano Teacher.

Further articles explore the musical careers and transformations of British band James, the emotional songwriting and lasting significance of Robert Smith of The Cure and singer-songwriter Elliott Smith, and Robert Wyatt’s love of jazz, musical philosophy, and political outlook. The issue also looks into the stories behind Suede’s album covers, Brett Anderson’s musical background, and the influence of the Sex Pistols. Combining trip-hop, indie rock, experimental music, and auteur cinema, this issue reflects Lull’s eclectic editorial approach to music and culture in the early 2000s.
