Altin Gün announce new album, Garip
Turkish psych-rock band Altin Gün have shared the details of their upcoming sixth album, Garip, and released lead single "Neredesin Sen".
Garip — which translates to "strange" in English — serves as a tribute to Turkish folk singer Neşet Ertaş. The album sees ten of his compositions reimagined by Altin Gün, with "Neredesin Sen" being the first preview of the band putting their spin on Ertaş' classics.
“Both of my parents are from Turkey, from the same area he is from. It's the music that I grew up with. When I was five, six years old, my grandfather always had cassettes by Neşet Ertaş and I used to listen to it all day long. Then I was too young to really understand the lyrics and the meaning, but I really liked the melodies," says vocalist Erdinç Eçevit of Ertaş' influence.
