  1. 8.0 |   PopMatters

    The new Altin Gün album Ask makes it clear where they are headed: back to their retro roots, bringing forth the sounds of classic 1970s Anatolian rock

  2. 8.0 |   The Line Of Best Fit

    Their music is always hypnotic, regardless of the pace, intensity or sonic makeup of each track – but Ask is something else

  3. 8.0 |   Exclaim

    Staying true to themselves while keeping the passion burning, Altin Gün don't reinvent the wheel so much as craft a sick new set of rims. They do their thing like nobody else, and they're always getting better at it — Ask gives you everything you want, and you'll still want more

  4. 8.0 |   All Music

    It's perfectly fine that they chose to head backwards to a sound they were familiar with. Ask is proof that there is plenty of mileage left before the sound, or the band, runs out of gas

  6. 7.0 |   Uncut

    Ask feels like a liberation, bursting out exuberantly in all directions as they boldly rework a set of ancient Turkish folk tunes with characteristic invention. Print edition only

  7. 7.0 |   Clash

    Despite their impressive output rate, the band shows no signs of dropping a clanger yet. It’s another fabulous album, complete with fabulous cover, from one of neo-psych’s most exciting prospects. We can’t think of a better entry point if you’re a stranger to the band
