After various publications with Schimmer Records, W133, and zwoelfnullsieben, Timo Rinker debuts his first full album, presenting a collection of both older and more recent projects. Creating a metonymy between a Golden Hour spent in the lush and dewy mornings in the forests of Sri Lanka and the vivacious sweatiness of the final hour of a night at the club, Timo Rinker presents personal moments of bliss, wedged between night and day. Dew is the first track, easing into the album with light drums and an atmospheric sound. The album continues, becoming less atmospheric and more breaky with every track while still being less rough than the second half of the album. Building up the energy further towards the second half of the album, Rituals with its heavy rhythm and bass begins Rinker's switch to a more experimental breakbeat sound, culminating in the electronica sound of Fast Paced. Solar Radiation marks the departure from the more experimental sound into techno and is followed by Insects a bouncy track bopping along like an ant train through a nightclub. Golden Hour, the title-giving track is a joyous ode to summer while the final track Hold Me finishes the album with a melancholic expression of the fleeting nature of contentment.

The Album is available as a digital download or you can order the printed and signed artwork in A4 size and get the digital download on top. The photography for the artwork is by Freya Gerz.
