Altin Gun – On

Description

Mano, Bacan and Koray have all influenced Altin Gn, but their foremost inspiration is Neet Erta, a Turkish folk musician whose musical legacy is invaluable. Comparisons are almost impossible to make but imagine someone with the same impact and status as Bob Dylan or George Gerschwin and youre getting close. Many of the songs he wrote have become standards in Turkey, national treasures which are cherished up until the present day. Altin Gn retain the lyrical and thematic structure of Ertas songs, though they often alter their time signatures and add fuzzy bass sounds, sweltering organ sounds and raw saz riffs. Erta wrote the majority of the songs on the album even if these are hardly recognisable after all the work Altin Gn have done on them.

The songs have universal themes such as love, death, desire and destiny. It is touching music that makes you want to move and massages your soul all at once. Music that sounds familiar but different. Music thats deeply emotional even for someone who doesnt speak a word of Turkish.

Let Altin Gn open that door for you and get ready to indulge in their fresh and beautiful sound. – Bandcamp
