In live performance, Linz-based band Schmack can’t help but grab a lion’s share of their audience's attention. Their second album In Love (Seayou Records, 2024) encapsulates the raw energy, cohesion, and musicianship of a live concert, at times veering off on tangents before reconvening into climactic chord structures and beautiful jazz melodies. They are, first and foremost, music lovers, and they are in tune with contemporary musical trends. Blending numerous influences and defying traditional conventions, Schmack’s music is exuberant and immensely enjoyable.

For five years, the four Linz musicians of Schmack have been working on their second studio album In Love. They were supported by a number of high-caliber guest vocalists. With its eclectic mix of unconventional jazz, vibrant hip-hop, and catchy pop melodies, it is an ode to the versatility and artistic integrity of Schmack. In Love is a journey through the infinite facets of human emotions, a sonic manifesto of love, passion, and unshakable creativity. With this album, Schmack once again sets new standards and proves that true art knows no boundaries.
