ZACHT AUTOMAAT IS ONE YEAR OLD





Some people are listening to our shit!

"2010 saw the emergence of a mysterious entity known as Zacht Automaat.

PEACE GAS

"On the very fringes of music, the Zacht juggle more ideas into the very first 5-minutes of this record than an entire topographic ocean of aspiring epigone noiseniks, and so-called edgy bands manage in a whole lifetime..."
