ABSURD, THE - BACK TO DIFFER (2LP)

releasedate 03-01-2026 "Limited edition double vinyl album (300 copies) marking the 40th anniversary of the band from Cologne. 'Other, experimental, healing' - that's how Cologne's monthly magazine 'Stadt Revue' described The Absurd in December 2009. It would be hard to sum up the unconventional music and impact of The Absurd more aptly and succinctly. To celebrate The Absurd's 40th anniversary, the band recorded more than a dozen tracks in 2024, which will be released on January 3, 2026 as a double album on vinyl entitled 'Back To Differ' on the band's own label Footnotes. The album features singer and oud player Gizem Nur Copçuoglu from Istanbul and presents music between psychedelia, avant-rock and traditional melodies from Turkey." (label info)
