Captured Tracks' reissue series moved away from shoegaze (re)discoveries and into more rarefied territory with this retrospective of Saâda Bonaire, a German group that only released one single before EMI pulled its financial and promotional support.
With Ask, the Amsterdam-based sextet Altin Gün marks an exuberant return to the '70s Anatolian folk-rock sound that characterized their first two albums, On (2018) and Gece (2019).
A record as fearless as it is enthralling, an alternatingly fierce and joyous work that ascends to new heights as it reckons with desire and escape, love and surrender, rebellion and reality.
