BILLY ZACH
A MOMENTARY BLISS

Billy Zach - the post-punk project based in Hamburg is back with its second album “A Momentary Bliss” and picks out those barely definable moments in the chaotic, confusing and merciless whirl of the modern social race/competition that lie somewhere between despair, sadness, hope, anger and excess. Their artistic treatment by the Hamburg-based indie label “La Pochette Surprise Records” is just as diverse as their emotional range suggests. Between melancholy ballads, fast, biting punk rants and cold-blooded, rousing vocal interludes, an eerily beautiful musical contrast is created that few artists can match: Drifting just below the surface in a maelstrom of melancholy and longing - constantly on the verge of jumping out angrily and frothing in the best noise-rock style - and yet at the same time sinking like a stone weighing tons and surrendering to the dreamy synthesizer soundscape of the current.
