ZAHN + AUA
This fall, ZAHN and AUA are joining forces for a tour that will showcase their unique
and innovative take on contemporary music. As the world grapples with uncertainty
and upheaval, Zahn and AUA provide a soundtrack that is both reflective and
defiant, capturing the pulse of our times with a blend of post-apocalyptic energy and
haunting melodies.
ZAHN from Berlin has been making waves with their intense, driving sound that
echoes the relentless march of a world on the edge. Their latest album "Adria"
(2023), is a sonic journey through stark, dystopian landscapes, evoking
comparisons to NEU!, Metz, The Jesus Lizard and Tortoise. With their music,
ZAHN delivers a raw, visceral experience, dismantling the status quo without uttering
a single word.
"Serenity, precision, contemplation, everything passes by you like in a film by Wim
Wenders." (New Noise)
"Berlin trio ZAHN are the experimental wunderkind of the modern krautrock scene."
(ExBerliner)
AUA from Leipzig/Wiesbaden complements this intensity with a sound that is equally
complex and captivating. Their upcoming album "Painkiller No.1" set for release on
November 8th, 2024 on Crazysane Records, concludes their critically acclaimed
album trilogy. Known for their krautrock-inspired beats, lo-fi guitars, and ethereal
vocals, AUA’s music is a delicate balance of weightless melancholy and gritty
electronic undertones.
"Imagine Radiohead if they weren’t weighed down with all that baggage." (Electronic
Sound Magazine)
"There’s a lot to find here, especially if you’re a filmmaker searching for the right
soundtrack to your sci-fi love story." (Overblown)
This tour marks a rare opportunity to experience two of Germany’s most exciting acts
in one electrifying night. As Zahn and AUA take the stage together, they promise to
deliver a live performance that will leave audiences both exhilarated and
introspective.
