Let THE BBC RADIO LUNCHBOX know what you think of the GET WELL SOON LUNCHBOX TRACK 'IF THIS HAT IS MISSING, I HAVE GONE HUNTING' and what you're listening to this week.
'25-year-old German is startlingly talented. His debut album as Get Well Soon is an ambitious and omaginatively arranged mix of exultant Motown pop, electronica, soundtracks and noir-ish alt. rock. Fans of the Arcade Fire, The National and Radiohead will faint clean away. UNCUT (4 Stars)
In other words, it's a provocative, opaque, boldly dramatic labyrinth of an album and you'd be a fool not to dive right in' THE FLY (4,5 Stars)
‘Rest Now..’ is a bold and beautiful collection of songs. Gropper has crafted an album on par with the ambitious sonic adventuring usually favoured by the likes of Sufjan Stevens or Patrick Wolf, fellow sonic visionaries who Get Well Soon deserve to be mentioned amongst' CLASH MAGAZINE

"Ein pastorales Stück Indie-Unvergänglichkeit. Es ist Musik, die dein Leben klangvoller macht, nicht nur für die überbordend schönen 60 Minuten dieser CD"
Album des Monats (Januar 2008)
MUSIKEXPRESS
"Schon der erste weltbewegende Chor des Präludiums reißt alles mit und lässt erst zur Coda wieder los. Das ist opulent und formvollendet und ein kleines bisschen paranoid." Album des Monats (Januar 08) VISIONS
"Get Well Soon macht sich stark für einen Pop von quasi-symphonischen Ausmaßen. In Kitsch verfällt er aber nie." SPEX
"Ein beeindruckend souveränes Debüt. Die Arrangements sind tatsächlich atemberaubend." Rolling Stone
THIS IS THE BEAUTIFUL NEW GET WELL SOON CLIP FOR THE SONG WITCHES! WITCHES! REST NOW IN THE FIRE. TAKEN FROM THE ALBUM -REST NOW, WEARY HEAD! YOU WILL GET WELL SOON!- RELEASED IN GER, AUT, SWISS VIA CITY SLANGWITCHES! WITCHES! REST NOW IN THE FIRE ..
Rest Now, Weary Head is the first album of the band of Konstantin Gropper. Here, he invites us to lean back for a while and close our eyes. Wounds are being bandaged, scars counted. - Breathe - 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: Take this hand now / there is no time to waste / the first gets the land / where we need to build our home / Quiet people build the hardest gold. 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..
