German post–modern noise rock ensemble ZAHN present their second full–length album Adria, an 80–minute–long journey into the heart of classic European holiday culture. Adria offers a bold escape from your daily life through technicolor transmissions of post–rock, krautrock, dark jazz, noise–rock, post–punk and electronic music. Influenced by the likes of TRANS AM, THE JESUS LIZARD, METZ, THE MELVINS and TORTOISE "Adria" is a compelling soundtrack to a 1980’s anti–utopian road movie!
‘Adria’ was mixed and mastered by Magnus Lindberg (RUSSIAN CIRCLES, CULT OF LUNA) at his Stockholm studio. The cover artwork, based around photographs by Lupus Lindemann(KADAVAR), was designed by Fabian Bremer (RADARE, AUA).
Adria is a testament to the incredible power of this trio and its ability to effortlessly ensnare your attention for the duration of a ten minute–song of purely instrumental music. Over the course of the albums 11 tracks ZAHN emerge as a form of PINK FLOYD of noise rock, relentlessly pushing the envelope on what’s already accomplished while remaining tasteful and tasty at every corner.
In advance of this, they’ve released a video for ‘Apricot’.
The video for ‘Apricot’ was directed by N. Hildebrandt, bringing ZAHN’s unique vision to life. The track was recorded by Peter Voigtmann at Die Mühle Studios, Gyhum, and expertly mixed and mastered by Magnus Lindberg at Redmount Studios, Stockholm.
ZAHN comments: "Being in a band often entails profuse sweating, whether it’s under the stage lights, lifting heavy gear, sitting on a sweltering bus without air conditioning or the anxiety-induced perspiration before a performance. For many rockers, being intoxicated is a vital element of a show. With ZAHN we’re approaching this in a different way – we’re pursuing an altered state of consciousness by pushing ourselves to the limit in a sauna – Apricot is a sober yet sensory and psychedelic sauna experience.”
