Mintzkov Luna will henceforth be known as Mintzkov. With ‘360°’, their second album, Mintzkov is aiming for the big prize. The first single, ‘One Equals a Lot’, stands for the new and reborn Mintzkov. Straightforward, powerful and adventurous. Their debut album ‘M for Means and L for Love’ already contained a number of hitsingles such as ‘Mimosa’, ‘United Something’ and ‘I Do’. While ‘M for Means and L for Love’ was a wonderful listening experience, filled with subdued tension, ‘360°’ has Mintzkov crackling like never before. You need references? Try thinking Girls against Boys meets Pixies.
‘360°’ was produced by Mark Freegard, a Scottish lad who has previously worked with The Breeders, Manic Street Preachers and The Cranes.
With ‘360°’ Mintzkov is searching for the basis. Making a second album forces a band to think about their position and reconsider that position. Making good songs is one thing but making brilliant songs that make a difference is a whole other thing. On ‘360°’, Mintzkov has succeeded in the latter. Making a circle: that about sums up Mintzkov’s working process for ‘360°’. Taking different paths and enjoying what their distractions have to offer without losing track of the ultimate goal: coming back home and finding what you’ve been searching for.
The album is released in Belgium, The Netherlands, Germany, Austria, Switzerland, Denmark and Finland and will be released at the end of August 2009 in France.
The album will also be available as legal download at Itunes.
