Drangsal

Drangsal, whose real name is Max Gruber, is a multi-talented artist from Germany who has been carving his unique space in the music industry since his debut in 2016. Best known for his work in the indie, synthpop, and post-punk genres, Drangsal's success goes beyond his colourful and evocative vocals. He is also an adept instrument player, complementing his artistry with the ability to play the guitar, bass, drums, and synthesizers for his songs. His music videos are a clear extension of his idiosyncratic style, packed with bold visual narratives that highlight his distinct take on popular music.

Perhaps his most popular music video, “Turmbau zu Babel”, is a visual feast, packed with symbolism and peculiar imagery that reflect his knack for eccentricity. The video follows Drangsal on a surreal journey through a dystopian Berlin, featuring giant spiders, floating disembodied heads, and gritty urban scenes, all delivered with a darkly comical undertone. The "Allan Align" video also stands out for its distinctive style, with a monochrome color palette and an eye-catching performance by Drangsal himself at the heart of the storyline. A trivia note here - believe it or not, Gruber’s uncle is the beloved German detective on “The Old Fox”. He is a master of blending tear-jerking ballads with unanticipated charm as seen in his "Call Me Anytime" video, which collectively embodies the enigma that is Drangsal. This blend of awe-inspiring creativity and playful charm makes Drangsal a force to be reckoned with in the music industry.
