Altın Gün is an Anatolian rock band from Amsterdam, Netherlands. It was founded by guitarist Ben Rider and bassist Jasper Verhulst in 2016.[1][2][3] Their debut album was On, released in 2018.[4] In 2019, they released Gece which was nominated for the 62nd Annual Grammy Awards (2019) in the Best World Music Album category.[5][6] Their style has been described as "psychedelic" with a "dirty blend of funk rhythms, wah-wah guitars and analogue organs".[7] Altın Gün also performs psychedelic rock covers of Turkish folk music.[1] The band's first American tour commenced in mid 2019.[8]
