Have you felt anything today? Joy or surprise? Melancholy or a certain sadness?
That's good. Because only those who feel, live. If you don't want to be alone with what you feel, the music of the Viennese dreampop band Wallners is the perfect emotional accompaniment. Their sometimes acoustic, sometimes electronic, but always warming songs are like good friends that you can call at any time when you feel like it. Like a blanket to hide under when you don't really understand the world out there anymore. With "End of Circles", the band is releasing its long-awaited debut album. The credo of the record: it's okay to let things happen. It's important to feel something. Allow it to happen.
This is even truer at Wallners concerts: watching the band play and listening to their music makes you feel safe. The Wallners are Anna, Laurenz, Nino and Max Wallner. Four siblings from Vienna, Anna and Laurenz are twins. This makes for a very special band constellation. The history of rock and pop music is full of examples of bands breaking up because two brothers fell out. But four siblings? The secret: when it comes to music, Anna (vocals), Laurenz (piano), Nino (guitar) and Max (bass) don't need to say much. The four of them intuitively know what makes an outstanding song - and what doesn't.
When they work on their music, the Wallners' clocks tick a little differently. As a result, the songs on the recordings and in the live arrangements sound incredibly balanced and at peace with themselves. Imagine that the four Wallner siblings are guests at their parents' house. One of them is lying on the floor in the living room and starts to play. The others join in, listen, tune in, including singer Anna, whose simultaneously dark and warm voice characterizes many of the songs: "I let myself be guided by what I feel, find words for it or simply linguistic sounds, from which lyrics only emerge later."
Which also explains why this group - unlike many other acts from Vienna - sings in English: Wallner's music is not concrete. The sensual beauty of the sound comes from the abstract. And in feelings, such as nostalgia. Not meant as a conservative world view, but as a concept of longing for a time when there was - or will be again - a more direct connection between body and soul, head and heart. In this sense, Wallner's concerts offer an almost
almost spaceless and timeless experience that should not be missed.
