Richtext: After whoiswelanski quickly became an insider tip of the German music indie scene, things got a bit quieter around the electronic pop duo from Upper Bavaria. In the course of the pandemic, the two rather social-media-shy guys take refuge in virtual worlds, occupy themselves with NFTs, digital cat pictures and avatars. A digital self emerges: Welanski. A being who sells music on the Internet, exhibits digital art in a gallery in the metaverse and likes to shake a leg at live events in Web 3.0. Welanski degenerates into a virtual art figure that exists Only in Arts. The album of the same name is an electronic pop soundtrack, a flirtation in the server room that makes one person think of videogames and the other of love. Tobias and Josef very aptly describe their music as "Weird Welanski Pop" and one catches oneself imagining how their digital selves have pressed a piano key or two in the process. Somehow this is pop - especially when you hear the singles Here We Go, This Is Good and I Just Wanna Hang Out With My Friends. And yet this album brings something more to the table: experimental outbursts, as in Love On Mars or First, Try, meet driving, minimalist beats, wrapped in a potpourri of samples (Hold On). Produced within their own four walls, Sam Petts-Davies (Warpaint, Klangstof, Radiohead) and Zino Mikorey (Nils Frahm, Thom Yorke) lent the record its luster. As one is used to from whoiswelanski, there can be no lack of a visual design oriented to the overall concept. Thus, the animated illustrations by Sandro Rybak follow a clear line, show repetitive elements, create a vast, spherical dream world, perhaps a metaverse. The music video for I Just Wanna Hang Out With My Friends by Basti Kameter builds on this: surreality in the form of a lizard puppet that momentarily snaps the main character out of his stifling isolation and highlights the feeling of alienation. For a band that seeks its place in the world from the idyll of Upper Bavaria, this is all quite unusual, exciting and makes you want more.

Richtext: When whoiswelanski roam the expanses of their native Upper Bavaria, they return with new encounters and stories. One of these led to the creation of their melancholic avant-garde pop number I Just Wanna Hang Out With My Friends, the third and thus final single from the upcoming album Only in Arts. On the shore of a Bavarian lake, a young woman told the two Welanskis she was disappointed with her vacation here. She said that there was more going on here than she would have liked. When asked why she was disappointed, since she had been forced to spend the last two years alone, she responded with a tired smile. It doesn't necessarily have to be the isolation from society that makes one ill, society can do that itself. She was so unhappy and joyless in her life, she did not give exact reasons. At home she puts on a show, she said. It is easier for her to be honest with herself and others in a foreign country. Basically, she only wants one thing: To be able to enjoy the simple things again. She wants to go out, spend time with her friends - but at the moment she can't do that. At the time, the two Welanskis could think of nothing more than an encouraging smile as they said goodbye. Now it has become a song.
