The first thing that grabs you about Altin Gün’s new album is the energy.
With Aşk, the Amsterdam-based sextet turn away from the electronic, synth- drenched sound of their 2021 albums, Âlem and Yol. While those two, created at home during the pandemic, paid homage to the electronic pop of the 80s and early 90s, Aşk, marks an exuberant return to the 70s Anatolian folk-rock sound that characterised Altin Gün’s first two albums, On (2018) and Gece (2019).
