'...Rest Now, Weary Head' is the first album of the band of Konstantin Gropper, aka Get Well Soon. He invites us to lean back for a while and close our eyes. Wounds are being bandaged, scars counted. Meanwhile, his music is wandering.

Timelessly it roams about in genres: folk and electro are walking hand in hand, classical music is sketching the distant horizon - a faint memory of long gone eras - hook lines of pop music are lying at the wayside, waiting to be touched with the slightest irony.

Konstantin has assembled his strongest pieces of three years of work on one album: here they shine with the melancholy and the gloom of those, who have gained peace and hope as they have left the eternal dance around a golden calf named progress.

The art of Konstantin concentrates in his ability to elude classification, to forge Get Well Soon anew with every single song. Glinting through are memories of sad ballads of Leonard Cohen; broken groans of Tom Waits; the laisser faire of the lost of Nick Cave, and the weightlessness of Thom Yorke.
