NOT THE SURFACE album release tour
Music as a sound-philosophical treatise on what defines us and perceived as a language that has always truly connected us.
Franzis Lating (voc, keys, synth) and Johannes Elia Nuß (drums, synth) create a deeply touching, captivating sound poetry in which they neither shy away from risky adventures nor lack a familiar, secure warmth.
They emphasize that there is no dividing line at the outer edges of different genres and combine elements from jazz, classical and electronic music, as well as catchy passages that we are used to hearing in pop, to create something that you simply can't get enough of.
the bottomline are the sound architects of song structures that meander between worlds like theatrical dramas, expressionist fables that inevitably encourage dancing or sensual love letters to life.
With their new album NOT THE SURFACE (released 23.10.2026 on the Munich label enja & yellowbird records), they deal with the absurdities of the present, but also with the need for self-esteem, empowerment and the deep belief in love and the resulting hope for real change that includes all people.
Her virtuoso live performances allow everyday life to fade into the background for the moment. Critics and audiences alike celebrate the pair:
"Heavy drum grooves under elegant piano and keyboard playing and a voice that can do many things: Cuddle up, get excited, offend, whisper, conjure, break and threaten. In any case, it won't leave you cold." (Anja Buchmann | WDR 3 Jazz)
"A congenial, musically and technically highly talented duo. 'the bottomline' completely convinced the audience." (Bernd Schöneck | Kölner Stadt-Anzeiger)
