Founded in 2015 by childhood friends Oğuz Kont and Sarp Dağlar Şahin, The Flabbies, emerged with their EP “2015.” As Istanbul-based trailblazers of instrumental shoegaze and post-rock in Türkiye, they gained both local and international recognition with their debut album “Back in Town” leading to a feature in a 2018 FIAT commercial. Renowned for their serene melodies and ethereal soundscapes, they evolved into a trio in 2022 with the drummer Can Sürmen and released their second album, “ALIVE“, a genre-bending fusion of disco, shoegaze, and psychedelic sounds. From intimate venues to big festival stages and with a new EP on the horizon before their European Tour, The Flabbies continue to explore and innovate, inviting listeners on an exciting journey through their evolving musical landscape.
