Simply stunning. Their 5th album in as many years Ask (deeper feeling of love), marks an exuberant return to the 70s Anatolian folk-rock sound that characterised Altin Gün's first two albums. It is a record that radiates the infectious energy found in the Amsterdam-based sextet's celebrated live performances and next levels the group's ground breaking sonic palette of Turkish psychedelic groove pop, sci-fi disco and dreamy acid folk.
