Rathmann play dark guitar pop. Unpolished and raw. Dirty,
spatial and with a sense of romance. On their debut album "Die Goldenen
Twenties" they have found a clear self-image - an independent sound
sound - and tell an honest and approachable story. When in their songs a
couple becomes unintentionally pregnant, people go off the rails or dystopian
dystopian future prospects spread - then Rathmann set to music
abysmal and introspective, catchy and beautiful. Their
their own and the decade in which they experience it.
"When everything is over
We know what once was
A few good years
And a few so-so ones"
From the indie rocker "Warum tut Liebe so" to the folky "Trauriger Geist" and the album's
Italo-Western title track of the album - the clear signature can be recognized everywhere:
A band that allows itself to be a band. A band that does not follow the zeitgeist,
but exclusively to their own interests. And so you will find
album, which will be released in the fall of 2026, contains more borrowings from
Leonard Cohen, Big Thief, Dr. Dog and bands from the Hamburg School than from
contemporary German indie pop.
At their concerts and in their songwriting, Rathmann capture the moment in their songs.
the moment in their songs:
The uncertainty of our time, the dreariness of a solid quarter-life crisis -
but always the joy of togetherness and the excitement of a life that is still
life that is yet to be discovered.
The first single "Wenn alles vorbei ist" will be released on 20.03.2026.
In the fall, Rathmann will go on "Die Goldenen Zwanziger" tour*
