Jännerwein is an Austrian neofolk band that has carved out a unique space in the genre's landscape with their contemplative lyrics, acoustic instrumentation, and evocative melodies. Formed in the late 2000s, the band's name is derived from 'January' (Jänner in Austrian dialect) and 'wine', symbolizing both the introspective nature of winter months and the intoxicating effect of their music. They take inspiration from historical, romantic, and folkloric themes to craft songs that resonate with a sense of yearning and profound emotion.

With albums like "Eine Hoffnung" (2014), "Abendläuten" (2018), and "Nach Der Sehnsucht" (2019), Jännerwein has continued to refine their sound and thematic focus. "Eine Hoffnung" offers a diverse blend of mournful ballads and uplifting anthems, showcasing the band's ability to balance light and dark elements in their music. The subsequent album "Abendläuten" presents a matured, serene, and sometimes melancholic soundscape that invites listeners into a reflective auditory experience. The thematic continuation and deepening of their emotional exploration are evident in "Nach Der Sehnsucht," weaving intricate tales of longing and existential contemplation. Together, these works cement Jännerwein’s place in the neofolk scene as thoughtful storytellers through song, appealing to a fanbase that appreciates both musical and lyrical artistry.
