With SCHANZ's "AD/2," you feel every emotion of each song.

AD/2 is an album with perspectives that have a unique touch to them.

SCHANZ's latest music project is created not just as a combination of sounds, but also as a collection of songs made with the thought of how sound makes you feel. An experiential curation of music, with a captivating atmosphere. It belongs to the world of experimentation, emotion, and a rich nature. SCHANZ is an artist who specializes in the genre of rock, including bits of every fusion of rock with different genres— indie rock, punk rock, grunge rock, everything. It's a diverse range of music styles that he blends into his creations.

"SCHANZ makes music with just one purpose, to make people connect with his music through and through."

Since the beginning, the artist sets the mood as an ambient, mellifluous realm of music. The artist works for himself, as well as the audience, putting in a lot of hard work, long hours, and all his emotions into his creations. With an impactful voice, both sonically and emotionally, this artist's musings evoke in you something that will feel empowering. With each track moving forward, you discover something new, something different.

The album's initial track has a mellow tone, a soothing melody, and a vibe that is immersive to its core. The distorting echoes and twinkling tunes make you feel like you're in a fairytale. Moving forward, we land upon the artist's favorite, "The Sun." It is a cool combination of the dark, melancholic mood and the 80s synth and string melody. Tracks like "The Sun" consist of moody rhythms, with gaps for you to interpret the message by the artist. With a laid-back theme, this album is an open-ended project that keeps you leaning in and makes you never stop listening to it.

Another track that keeps you hooked is "X." It's a bit different from the rest of the songs as it has an upbeat vibe to it, but still submerges with the calm, composed harmony of the album.

As a whole, this album is gentle and understated. It does not have a thumping, bumping beat, and it won't make you bang your head along with it, but it will soothe your heart. It's like whispers and melodies coming together to sit beside you when time stands still. It doesn't scream for attention, but shelters an ethereal beauty in its slow pace.

When you come across songs like "Blind," you come to understand the real essence of the album. It sounds like a soft voice reaching into your ears to comfort you, or like eavesdropping on another person's mind. The track has a narrative that represents the emotional and meditative quality of the entire thing. The song has an emotional pull to it that sounds familiar.

The album is a poke to your mind. It feels futuristic, clinical, maybe even mysterious. It's a contrast between extremes— softness and structure, stillness and motion, clarity and distortion. It keeps oscillating through a series of emotions and feelings, and warmth resides in it throughout. There are moments where field recordings, crackles, or distant echoes are layered in the tracks very subtly.

SCHANZ has sculpted an album that's both timeless and modern, with curves that are not too flashy, and not too in-your-face. It's something made in its own space. In an industry where everything is made of fast content, quick hooks, and overproduction, this is something impactful yet peaceful, proving the artist's prowess over building something that is made to feel, not just listen. If you're looking for something resonating, something reflecting, something that gets you lost in it, "AD/2" is the perfect addition to your playlist.
