'Wie es mir geht' could be a song about goodbyes, about breakups — but just as easily about stress, burnout, or depression. Above all, it's a song that's honest about what it feels like to not want to deal with your own feelings. Whatever the reasons. And one that also says: that's okay too. No judgement, no drama. Instead, openness, genuine melancholy, and clever wit. Musically, 'Wie es mir geht' shows VANDALISBIN's influences from jazz and samba, as well as their enthusiasm for the singular, wonderfully weird music of American artist Mitski and her layered, multi-voiced arrangements.
With 'Wie es mir geht', VANDALISBIN lets us hear what it sounds like when an artist frees herself completely, leaving space for her creativity beyond genre boundaries and conventions. Danceable and deeply sad, feather-light and heavy with rain. Or put simply: the perfect summer song for grey days.
