3/ ‘The Horror’ by GET WELL SOON (Berlin, Germany)
Fifth LP by singer/storyteller Konstantin Gropper. The record “is about fear in all its forms. Fear as a motivator, as an obstacle, as a consultant, and as a political weapon, both socially and privately”. Sonically it moves, feels and sounds like a musical. A truly intriguing journey.
