Darknight
OH YES!! Zahn love to experiment in freaking awesome noise rock instrumental greatness, it's actually insane how great Adria really is. Once again this killer band blow me away!!
Favorite track: Velour.
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!
"ZAHN crafts a compelling blend of Neu!-inspired drums Space Night synths and deep bass. A captivating synergy of sound in which each track is a unique suggestive sub-whirl. Highly individual yet harmoniously cohesive. A clear recommendation from the house."
- Metal Hammer
"Berlin trio ZAHN are the experimental wunderkind of the modern krautrock scene. The record’s concept is quite the contrast to the band’s sound, with its elongated tracks, prog-rock motifs, blistering noises and warbled, experimental synth sounds. It’s not what many would associate with mystical leisure resort. But if this is ZAHN’s idea of a holiday, count me in."
- ExBerliner
"Zahn’s Adria is the experimental rock record I’ve been waiting for, with spacious guitars, classic synths, distorted bass and heavy grooves like Hallo Gallo meets Jesus Lizard. This is futuristic music for movement, not vocals. I’ve been running to it the past couple weeks and I think I’m getting smarter."
- Walter Schreifels (Quicksand)
"Zahn’s new record Adria is crushing and weird in all the best ways. Melody hides in the cracks between staccato drum hits placed as with precision German machinery; synthesizers throb under hefty, wooly baselines and buzzsaw guitars tie the whole beautiful monster together. Adria sounds fantastic!”
- Nick DiSalvo (Elder)

Rarely an album title evokes that perfectly what’s inside … on a solidly bass base, mid-tempo post-punk songs progressing like nothing could stop them. Somehow, Berlin atmosphere transpires. JJPOP13
