SCHNTZL - Holiday

"Get ready for schntzl 2.0. On their third album Casper Van De Velde and Hendrik Lasure, the two SpongeBobs of Belgian jazz, enter Cortizona and take you on board of their newly discovered musical spectrum. Rollercoastin' between extreme emotions Casper and Hendrik slide through 90's Euro-optimism on synths, frantic drum rolls, lost piano sounds, and sample wizardry: blending Spanish guitars, voices of singing ladies, slow-mo clarinets, and the patterns of a percussion robot. Holiday is the result of a residency in Ravenna, Italy in October in 2021 where musique concrète, replica sounds, and frenetic hyper-pop textures sneaked into the musical world of schntzl. Sculpting a world of friction, hypodermic joyful changes, sad euphoria, and good old plain fun. RIYL: Matmos in a jazz mood, free vibin' PC Music, Enya on XTC, improvising Valentina Magaletti, moody SOPHIE, BadBadNotGood going GoodGoodNotBad and other excellent music." - Cortizona.
