Goblyns are a psych-groove trio featuring Giovanni Votano, Liam Broek and Francis Broek, hailing from Berlin and Amsterdam. They now follow up last year’s This is Spaghettification EP with their full-length debut album Hunki Bobo, influenced by both the past (CAN, The Meters) and the present (Khruangbin, The Budos Band). It concerns eight instrumental tracks in which a mix of raw psychedelic rock and dreamy Afrofunk is sprinkled with a spicy spaghetti western sauce. The ideas for the tunes come from a feeling rather than a concept or story, but I envision a coarse-grained technicolor film in split-screen, with an exciting chase scene on one side and close-ups of the protagonists in slow motion on the other. This record is sunny, cinematic and accessible, undoubtedly the soundtrack for quite a few holidaymakers this summer.
Hunki Bobo, recorded & mixed by André Leo, is out now digitally, on CD and vinyl LP, through Crazysane Records.
