Get Well Soon - “5 Steps / 7 Swords”

New song online (download via City Slang) “about the 5 steps of dying and the non existing relationship to your own death”. Well then!

The new album “Vexations” comes in january 2010. “A concept album of sorts – ‘about the feeling of calmness, after managing vexations, the album isn’t about vexation itself, it’s about dealing with that vexation’ says its author Konstantin Gropper – its title is taken from a stirring piece of piano music by Erik Satie, first printed in 1949. That piece will become a sort of leit motif on the album. ‘Vexations’ is his second album, the follow up to 2007’s, Rest Now, Weary Head! Vexations marks another leap forward for Gropper, the classically trained singer, songwriter and multi-instrumentalist from Berlin, for it is a truly beautiful work, one that sparks the imagination with its poetic depth, classical montages and haunting panoramic mood mosaics.” (Info)
