History
Altın Gün take Turkish folk songs, many of them centuries old, and play them as groovy, fuzzed-out psychedelic rock, with electric saz, loping basslines, organ and drum patterns that nod to 1970s Anatolian rock. The group formed in Amsterdam around bassist Jasper Verhulst, who had fallen for records by artists such as Erkin Koray and Selda Bağcan and put together a band of Dutch and Turkish musicians, with Merve Daşdemir and Erdinç Ecevit singing. Their debut On in 2018 introduced the idea, and Gece in 2019 brought wider attention along with a Grammy nomination for Best World Music Album. On Yol in 2021, made largely during the pandemic, they shifted toward drum machines and synthesisers, giving the old melodies a hazier, more electronic sheen. They occupy an unusual place: a band from outside Turkey that became one of the best-known carriers of Anatolian rock for new audiences, recognised by the twin male and female vocals, the twanging saz lines and a relaxed, danceable groove.
