Vexations

GET WELL SOON Vexations (2010 UK 14-track CD album - 'Vexations': that's the title Konstantin Gropper has given his second album. To him it's not just the title of a piano piece by Eric Satie, but it's above all an expression of discomfort, disenchantment and anger. Of the disharmony through the world. Under the pseudonym Get Well Soon, Gropper left a significant musical mark on 2008 with his debut album 'Rest Now Weary Head! You Will Get Well Soon'. The follow-up is a concept album about The Stoics, and starts with field recordings made behind his parents' house and ends with the fall of the Roman Empire. In between you'll find Werner Herzog, Seneca, Georg Büchner, Homer, Peter Sloterdijk, Elisabeth Kübler-Ross, Sartre, the latest findings about conflict studies, questions about whether anger is an inevitable part of human nature, and every artist's fear of irrelevance [as seen through the eyes of Moby Dick]. Considered in terms of content, this record is crammed to the brim. It's so overflowing that one might think there's no space left for music. But there you'd be mistaken. The opulent cornucopia of melodic depth and artful arrangement that Gropper, or rather Get Well Soon, pours forth at the willing listener is not only absolutely record-breaking but also full of such beauty, maturity and majestic dignity that it seems truly overwhelming at first. 'Vexations' has turned out to be a worthy successor to a wonderful debut. An artistically outstanding and endlessly rich creation that, despite reaching a whole new level sonically, doesn't aim at singles, the radio or the charts, it stoically and effortlessly continues to do exactly what Get Well Soon have always done: to reach out to people and touch their souls!)
