Editor's note

AnnenMayKantereit's raw Cologne soul

A German trio whose melancholic pub songs found an audience with Henning May's distinctive voice.

For their sound, start with 'Barfuß Am Klavier' or 'Schon Krass.' The 'Tom's Diner' cover shows what they do with someone else's song.

They built their following playing local pubs and open mics in Cologne, with a sound built around May's raw vocal delivery and melancholic melodies. Songs like 'Barfuß Am Klavier' show their mix of soulful delivery and poetic lyrics that connected with German audiences. Their 2022 cover of 'Tom's Diner' with Giant Rooks helped introduce their sound beyond Germany.

They formed in Cologne in 2011 with Henning May on vocals, Christopher Annen on guitar, and Severin Kantereit on piano. Their debut album 'Alles nix Konkretes' came out in 2016, followed by 'Schlagschatten' with songs like 'Ausgehen' and 'Barfuß Am Klavier'.
