German Post–Modern Noise Rock ensemble Zahn have released their second full–length album Adria, an 80–minute–long “journey into the heart of classic European holiday culture.”
Adria spans Post–Rock, Krautrock, Dark Jazz, Noise–Rock, Post–Punk and Electronic music. It can also be likened to a “soundtrack to a 1980’s anti–utopian road movie.”
Consisting of Chris Breuer (Heads., ex–The Ocean Collective), Nic Stockmann (Heads.) and Felix Gebhard (Muff Potter), Zahn exists in a “progressive tradition of musicians from a local scene working together on albums and exploring new grounds regardless of the respective bands they became known for.” With a debut album that was recorded in only two days, this trio decided to keep exploring.
Returning to the task of making these musicians sound good is Peter Voigtmann, who recorded the album at his Die Mühle studio in Northern Germany. The huge storage space of the old mill provided an ideal recording site for Zahn’s drum and bass sounds.
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).
