Get Well Soon blends folk, indie-rock, classical and filmscore-like wideness. The music combines such a variety of sound and influences from all over the world, including tango as well as eastern European Brass and the soundtracks of Ennio Morricone, that it's probably best described as post-modern. All of that is the musical vision of 25 year old Berlin based songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, producer and Philosophy student - Konstantin Gropper.

On its release in Germany last month (via City Slang), the album entered the official German Top 30, and received great critical applause, with comparisons to Radiohead, Nick Cave, Arcade Fire and Bright Eyes and had Rolling Stone raving that the album is "an impressively superior debut - the arrangements are indeed breathtaking." It also received the accolade of "album of the month" 7 times including the two biggest music magazines in Germany (MusikExpress and Visions). Get Well Sooon is currently at number 11 on german iTunes Album Charts & Number 2 on iTunes Alternative Charts.

Konstantin is part of a new but old movement that is tired of all hedonist, retro and fashion-focused zeitgeist. Get Well Soon represents a more intellectual, emotional, reflected and critical tradition. The tradition of art itself you might say. His music is therefore beyond all hypes - it's timeless.

Konstantin was raised in the countryside at the very southwest of Germany. With his father being a classical music teacher, the major part in Konstantin's life has ever since been music. A very serious approach to music had a huge impact on his work today and is represented in the diversity of influences.

He won the prestigious Erich Fried Prize in Germany for setting one of Fried's poems to music. He moved to Dublin in 2005, before finally settling in Berlin.

Over the last 2 years he was producing his album in his flat himself and he also played nearly all of the instruments (Vocals, Cello, Piano, Guitars, etc..). He approached an emotional as well as stylistic richness that will get you, starting from the first few notes of the prelude and will not stop surprising you until the last bars of this album, that at no point sounds like a debut, have faded out. An experience you'll also have after the 5th time you've heard it. An opulence yet layered deepness that can be best compared to the films of Stanley Kubrick.
