Visions Magazine comments: “Ticking time bombs, flickering lights, and swirling guitar riffs: With the psychedelic animated video for »Sakura« the Goblyns surrender to the evaporation of time on both a visual and musical level.”

In the band’s own words: “The idea for all of our songs comes from a feeling rather than a concept or story. »Sakura« came from a single chord played that made the three of us feel like we were having a break from our usual faster and heavier songs. We wanted to write a song that revolved around that feeling, and so »Sakura« came. We hope that we’ve managed to get that across with this first track of the album.”

A psych groove instrumental trio you want to take home to meet your girlfriend’s dad. Treat yourself to a Goblyn-guided journey through time and space with this Berlin/Amsterdam based marvel. While still all residing in the sleepy Eastern Cape of South Africa, Goblyns was a fever dream for the youngsters, only coming to life years later after Frank followed Liam and Gio to Europe. The new distance was nothing now compared to the drive to finally make music together, and after the first meet up they knew this was special.

Written over various weekends during the next few months post »This Is Spaghettification« and drawing influence from a wide-world of music, a clear vision came to the boys of where they were going to land this project. Drawing influence from a wide-world of music including Kikagaku Moyo, The Meters, Khruangbin, Budos Band, Surprise Chef and CAN, the fellas are always sharing new sounds and ideas. The excitement never dims and this shines through in their upcoming debut full-length »Hunki Bobo«, hot on the of the success of last year’s EP. Now brimming with confidence and pride, the band has curated an ambitious selection of heated tracks to make up this iconic record.

The 8-track album was recorded over a five day studio binge in sweltering July 2023, under the skilled direction of Andre Leo, known for his work with Medicine Boy and Wombed. The sessions took place at Junxt studios in Berlin, where the unique atmosphere undoubtedly contributed to the album’s distinct sound. The artistic vision behind the album cover came to life through the creative prowess of Julia Schimautz, who meticulously designed all the captivating artwork.

Scheduled for release in May 2024 under the banner of Crazysane Records, »Hunki Bobo« promises to be a landmark album, solidifying Goblyns’ position as a force to be reckoned with in the contemporary music scene.

Prepare to be enraptured by a musical experience that transcends boundaries and leaves an indelible mark on your soul.
