Mintzkov

One of Belgiums finest bands...

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 liker 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 Mintzkovs 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 youve been searching for.

360° is out on March 16th, 2007. Bang! will be distributing the album in Belgium, Munich in The Netherlands. The album will also be available as legal download at Itunes.
