End­less Well­ness

You can hear a strumming western guitar that is overdriven. An organ provides space, and sometimes a dark synthesizer is added. It could be called "fuzz folk" or simply assigned to the all-encompassing indie; they could be described as the "Big Thief, only in German", the "early Tocotronic, but later" or as "Isolation Berlin from Vienna" - but it's not quite that easy to compare. The obscure, poetic, German-language lyrics are a loud confrontation with depression and ultimately always build a bridge to society, from the microcosm to the macrocosm. They are alternative love songs, for mindfulness, for confidence, for: endless wellness. When the band is on stage, you want to get up and join in, have fun. Their songs are an attempt to redirect the feeling of collective exhaustion into a common, loud rebellion - against a dysfunctional system that is riddled with failed climate policy and a resurgent fascism. These are songs to listen to alone or to dance to together, shaking the weight off your shoulders. There is an ambivalent tension that hovers between the urgent music and the lyrics about existential fears. In this way, Endless Wellness manages to capture our time and its ghosts and transform them into melancholic but comforting warmth. This can happen with humor, with harmonies and definitely with distortion.
