Endless Wellness

In the artist's words:

A strumming acoustic guitar can be heard, overdriven. An organ provides a surface, sometimes a dark synthesizer joins in. It could be called "fuzz folk" or simply classified as all-encompassing indie; they could be described as the "Big Thief, only in German", the "early Tocotronic, but later" or as "Isolation Berlin from Vienna" - but it's not quite so easy to make comparisons. The obscurely poetic, German-language lyrics are a loud confrontation with depression and ultimately always build a bridge to society, from the microcosm to the macrocosm. They are alternative love songs, for mindfulness, for confidence, for: Endless Wellness.

Hello everything! We - Philipp, Adele, Hjörtur and Milena - have been friends for 13 years. Even as teenagers, we played in bands together in Salzburg, where we lived at the time. So the official start of this project was basically only a matter of time: after a decade, we four friends, now all living in Vienna at the same time, found each other as a band. Even though Endless Wellness has only existed since 2021, our musical collaboration is based on our close friendship; a foundation on which a vulnerability in the creative process can arise that is only possible with the security of deep, interpersonal connection.

This security, this togetherness, can be felt far beyond the band context - without having released a single song, Endless Wellness have already gained a close-knit fan community that immediately bought up all the tickets for their concerts at Chelsea and Rhiz am Wiener Gürtel. No wonder: when the band is on stage, people want to get up and join in and have fun. Their songs are an attempt to redirect the feeling of collective exhaustion into a collective, loud rebellion - against a dysfunctional system that is riddled with failed climate policies and a resurgent fascism. These are songs to listen to alone or to dance to together, shaking the weight off your shoulders. It is an ambivalent tension that hovers between the urgent music and the lyrics about existential fears. In this way, Endless Wellness manage to capture our time and its ghosts and transform them into melancholic but comforting warmth. This may happen with humor, with harmonies and definitely with distortion.

Perhaps it is music that will come as surprisingly to you as it has come to us. See you soon!
