Digipack. The Wall of Sound by Zach Mathieu has its roots in the American post-hardcore and Emocore of the 1990s. With their harsh emotionality and intensity, the band evokes epigones such as Thrice and Hot Water Music as well as the early Jimmy Eat World and the alternative rock of the Foo Fighters. Even though "Highs & Lows" is the first work of the band, the four gentlemen are anything but new ones. With their predecessors, Carrie Anne and Palmcourtbeats, the musicians at the beginning of the 2000s have already accumulated ample stage experience, including a US West Coast tour. Zach Mathieu had already been on the road, with the New York postpunk combo The Noise, the quartet completed three tours to Germany and Switzerland. Zach Mathieu has devoted much time to her debut album. "Highs & Lows" was played live in the pavilion of Schrobenhausen under the direction of Achim Lindermeir (Emils Bulls, Claire, Van Holzen). The guest musicians included Maximilian W?rle (Adulescens) and Jon Landry and the Stanfields. The work has been mixed and mastered in the Canadian Halifax by Darren van Niekerk (The Stanfields, Iron Tulip Audio) and Noah Mintz (Lacquer Channel Mastering)
