Berlin-based experimental trio ZAHN have been making waves with their intense, driving sound that echoes the relentless march of a world on the edge. Consisting of Chris Breuer (Heads., ex–The Ocean), Nic Stockmann (Heads., ex–Eisenvater) and Felix Gebhard (Muff Potter, live–Einstürzende Neubauten, live–Tocotronic), ZAHN are exploring new creative territory, regardless of the bands they are known for. Their latest album PURPUR offers a bold escape from everyday life through vivid sonic landscapes that blend Krautrock, Dark Jazz, Noise Rock, Post-Punk, Post-Rock and Electronic Music — a lush fusion of heaviness, electronics and hallucinatory color. ZAHN delivers a raw, visceral experience, challenging the status quo without saying a single word.

The liveliest post rock album of the year so far. Purpur is shiny. It’s action-packed.
— The Quietus

Purpur offers a vast range of influences — stretching from King Crimson to John Carpenter, Morricone or Tortoise, with shades of Bohren & Der Club Of Gore — overflowing with creativity and sensuality.
— New Noise

Berlin trio ZAHN are the experimental wunderkind of the modern krautrock scene.

Among the best in the genres of noise and krautrock.

ZAHN crafts a compelling blend of Neu!-inspired drums Space Night synths and deep bass. Highly individual yet harmoniously cohesive.

ZAHN tells stories without words. The Berlin trio guards the quality, which is often lost in academic loops of repetition by other post-rock bands, like a treasure.
