Das Kölner Duo the bottomline rund um die Sängerin und Pianistin Franzis Lating und den Schlagzeuger Johannes Elia Nuß feiert am 22.10.26 im Club Subway den Release ihres langersehnten zweiten Studioalbums. NOT THE SURFACE erscheint einen Tag später (am 23.10.26) bei dem Münchener Label enja & yellowbird records.
Die beiden Tausendsassa beweisen damit einmal mehr ihr Gespür, mit ihrer Musik inhaltlich am Puls der Zeit zu sein. Dabei ist der Name des Albums Programm und the bottomline präsentieren mit diesem Longplayer eine neue Spielart ihres cineastisch-melancholischen Sounds.
In den letzten Jahren tourten die beiden bereits erfolgreich mit ihrem Debütalbum quer durch Deutschland und begeisterten das Publikum ebenso wie die Fachpresse.
Nun sind the bottomline mit NOT THE SURFACE zurück und bieten eine außerordentlich intensive musikalische Erfahrung, überzeugen mit gewohnter spielerischer Raffinesse, musikalischer Wandlungsfähigkeit, ausgefeilten Kompositionen und Lyrik mit Tiefgang.
Für die Show im Club Subway wird es exklusive künstlerische Überraschungen geben, die sie einmalig an diesem Abend für euch performen werden.
