Golden Hours are Hákon Aõalsteinsson (guitar/vocals), Wim Janssens (bass/vocals), Tobias Humble (drums) and Rodrigo Fuentealba Palavacino (guitar) – an outfit of seasoned players who between them have performed as part of Gang of Four, Brian Jonestown Massacre, Tricky, Fuzztones and more. Coated in fuzz and ghostly atmospherics with strong melodic undercurrents, the follow-up to their 2023 self-titled debut was written and recorded between Berlin rehearsal rooms and an old mansion in Brussels bleeding noisy electric static bleeding into every song.On ‘The Letter’, the first taste of what’s to come, Golden Hours sound like a thunderous post-punk avalanche descending the mountain of confusion, all wired up with tales of disillusion and desolation.

On the track, Janssens says: “The Letter is a well-aimed punch in the gut, a punch feeling so good that some would say it was most welcome. When all the letters of refusals, the unwanted bills and obituaries pile up to an insurmountable block in the brain, it can turn even the most stable minds among us into schizophrenic monsters, when forced to face the music head on, armed with nothing but the strength of desperation.”
