Based between Amsterdam and Berlin, Goblyns weaves psychedelic hooks, infectious syncopated rhythms, krautrock hypnosis, and fuzzy funk into a sound of their own. The largely instrumental trio consists of brothers Liam and Francis Broek and their old friend Giovanni Votano, all of whom were born and raised in Gqeberha, South Africa. The band formed shortly after all three had moved to Europe. Inspired by artists such as The Meters, Kikagaku Moyo, WITCH, Sly Stone, and CAN, Goblyns creates music without sonic boundaries.
Their debut album Hunki Bobo was released in May 2024 via Crazysane Records and was critically acclaimed, after they took their first steps in 2023 with the EP This Is Spaghettification . The further developed second album Three Sisters followed in June 2025. The excellent reactions to this genre-transcending record led the trio to international festivals throughout Europe and a very successful European tour.
“A balanced mix of mellow psych-rock, rich folk influences from around the world, and a subtle nod to the surf and exotica scene of the 60s.” - VISIONS MAGAZINE
Goblyns recently announced their long-awaited third album, Who Do You Fight?. It is a tight, transformative, and compelling album with plenty of opportunities to get lost in it. The record is full of infectious grooves, bouncy organs, and guitars with a healthy dose of spaghetti fuzz. Additionally, the band dives deeper into traditional R&B songwriting. Frank's voice features on half of the tracks, adding an extra layer to the restless, dreamy landscape. Who Do You Fight? will be released on November 13, 2026, via Crazysane Records.
