Motorcycles and Cherry Wind is Isik Kural’s third full length album for RVNG, following 2022’s in February and 2024’s Moon in Gemini alongside a pair of digital EPs - the instrumental collection As Flurries and 2023’s peaches. The Glasgow based composer of Turkish origin’s compositions are embossed with delicate instrumentations, field recording arrangements, and heart-melting lyricism built from the textures of everyday life. Motorcycles and Cherry Wind is the clearest expression of Isik’s magical realist vision yet—informed by years on the move, archaeology, ancient poetry, and collaborators spanning seven countries. Piano, guitar, woodwind, and even a string trio all find their way into Motorcycles and Cherry Wind’s layers, giving the album a spiritual, almost transcendental resonance, along with field recordings from a dolmuş in Istanbul, the afterglow of swimming in ancient Lycia, and birdsongs from Bridge of Allan.
Isik Kural’s music has been featured by Pitchfork, BBC, The Quietus, FADER, NPR, KCRW, and Rolling Stone, among others
Mastered by Stephan Mathieu, Motorcycles and Cherry Wind arrives October 30, 2026 as a limited vinyl pressing of 300 copies and digital edition via RVNG Intl., and a Japanese import CD via Plancha

Shipping, Returns & Cancellations
SHIPPING:
We ship Monday through Friday. Orders typically ship within 24-72 hours. Tracking is sent to the email you provide at check out and may take a few days to become active.
Any items ordered with Pre-Orders will be held until they can all ship together. If you need in stock items faster please order them seperately.
RETURNS:
Returns are only accepted on damaged or defective items. Return requests must be made within 7 days of delivery. Please save the original packaging.
If you own a Crosley, Victrola or any other lower end turntable that has no ability to adjust the weight of the tone arm and are experiencing skipping on a new record please try the "Penny Trick". Simply place a penny on the top of the cartidge and it should provide enough weight to resolve your issues. While a great entry to the world of vinyl we do recommend upgrading to a turntable with a tone arm that can be adjusted as this issue will randomly occur. We do not take returns in these cases.
Resellers: If you are buying from us for resale we honestly don't mind. However, please don't panic if something you bought suddenly isn't flipable for more money and then try to return stuff to us because you feel like you made a bad investment choice. Despite our outsized reputation we're a small shop, not amazon. Absorbing these costs adds up on places like ours. Plus a little patience always tends to pay off.
CANCELLATIONS:
Due to an increasing number of payment processors no longer returning transaction fees to sellers on cancelled orders and rising labor costs any orders or pre-orders that need to be cancelled before shipment will be assessed a 5% cancellation/restocking fee on the order total including shipping and any other taxes or fees associated with the order.
Thank you for your understanding.
