Altin Gun – ask (LP Vinyl)
Product Details
Altin Gün built their reputation the old-fashioned way, winning over festival crowds across Europe and North America with a sound rooted in the Turkish psych and Anatolian rock pioneers of the 1970s, artists like Erkin Koray and Selda Bağcan, while keeping one foot firmly in contemporary dance music. Ask ("love" in Turkish) leans into that heritage with a directness and confidence that comes from years of road-testing these songs in front of audiences who showed up specifically to move.
With Ask, the Amsterdam-based sextet Altin Gün marks an exuberant return to the 70s Anatolian folk-rock sound that characterized their first two albums, On (2018) and Gece (2019). It is also the closest the band have come so far to capturing the infectious energy of their live performances. “We took a very traditional approach to recording a rock album, like in the 70s,” bassist Jasper Verhulst says, with the band using vintage recording equipment to give the set a warm, welcoming sound.
