Golden Hours

Golden Hours are Hákon Aõalsteinsson, Wim Janssens, Tobias Humble and Rodrigo Fuentealba Palavacino – an outfit of seasoned players who between them have performed as part of Gang Of Four, The Brian Jonestown Massacre, Tricky, The Fuzztones and more. Based between Berlin and Brussels, Golden Hours first rumbled out of the shadows in 2023 with their self-titled debut and are now emerging once more with their sophomore album ‘Beyond Wires’, due for release February 6th 2026 via London-based independent Fuzz Club.   Still sounding like a thunderous post-punk avalanche descending the mountain of confusion, or a well-aimed punch in the gut, ‘Beyond Wires’ was knit together in-between the tours and other obligations of its four members, written and recorded in rehearsal rooms in Berlin and an old mansion in Brussels. “The latter definitely put its stamp on the record with its noisy electric static bleeding into every song”, says bassist/vocalist Wim. But a band like Golden Hours never shies away from these things: they lean into it and welcome those ghostly appearances with open arms and just try to out-fuzz the buzz with layers of noise and strong melodic elements that cut through like a knife.
