The musical roots of the six-piece Leipzig band HOTEL RIMINI can be described as widely ramified, even without botanical expertise. Electric guitar, double bass and drums mingle with cello and violin; piano and acoustic guitar meet effects units, a French horn used sporadically or an aged Casio. The German
lyrics are dedicated to the crocodile tears of urban affluence problematics, coming to terms with the past on public transport or failing to cope with the brutalities of everyday life.
Their debut album "Allein unter Möbeln" was released in the fall of 2023 and met with a positive response. The second album is scheduled for fall 2025.

Julius Forster, Paul Pötsch (Trümmer)

"The songs sound timeless with their instrumentation between indie and chanson, the lyrics tell of the present with acumen and wit."
Musikexpress
"Elegant chanson pop with strings and horns, a bit like Element of Crime, but with lyrics for the Tinder generation."
