Description
2024 reissue, 12″ LP, Glitterbeat.
Amsterdam-based Turkish band Altin Gun delivered one of the most potent – and arguably overlooked – debut albums of the year, “On”. 12 months on they return with album number two, “Gece”, an inspired fusion of heavyweight Turkish psychedelia, funk, freak-folk and intergalactic rock. While the songs and recordings are brand new, the band’s choice of instrumentation – vintage Moog synths, gnarled funk-rock guitars, skittish drums and fuzzy bass guitar – and 1960s style production gives the whole thing a deliciously retro feel. It’s a recipe that guarantees thrills and spills, with “Yolcu”, “Sofor Bey”, “Derdimi Dokersem” and spacey “Gesi Baglari” among the many highlights.
