What is Altun Zeynalov Doing With “Yellow Way”?

What the hell is grunge, anyways? We leave this question to music journalists, and Gen X-ers because those who were said to be a part of the epoch claim it never existed in the first place. Shades of ill-fitting flannel, and mid-tempo punk come to mind, but more than anything else the city of Seattle gives us definitive evidence that some kind of movement in music occurred sometime in the 90s. What then can we say about Altun Zeynalov? Two decades, an ocean, and two continents away from it all, the native of Baku, Azerbaijan is hammering out songs that simply must be called grunge. Their honest simplicity, dark hue, and overwhelming nostalgia craft a sound that is trans-sovereign, and trans-generational to say the very least.
