HAYVANLAR ALEMI’s new effort 'Psychedelia in Times of Turbulence' features progressive compositions that take their cue from drone metal, stoner rock and psychedelic doom, while subtly preserving the overtones of their brand of folkloric psych rock. "Thundercloud Museum" presents a footage used for the art project "Yıkçık", showed in 2014 in İstanbul by Fikirtepe. The track was composed by Özüm İtez, arranged by Hayvanlar Alemi, and recorded by Matt Bordin at Outside Inside Studio, Montebelluna. Video by Onur Ceritoğlu.

In Spring 2017, Hayvanlar Alemi entered the studio in a small Italian town for a few days and recorded material for multiple future releases. 'Psychedelia in Times of Turbulence' is filled with the heaviest songwriting that came out of these sessions, and marks a new step in their 20-year history with a more layered production and an emphasis on slower, progressive compositions. Says the band: "This album presents the side of Hayvanlar Alemi which tends towards the darker without losing the colors, and tends towards the sombre without losing the vitality, with songs that surrender to gravity but refuse to touch the ground."
'Psychedelia In Times Of Turbulence' is available in the following formats:
- CD Digipack
- LP "Burst" Orange/Green/Black - Black Innersleeve
