Rest Now, Weary Head! You Will Get Well Soon is the debut album by the German indie rock band Get Well Soon released on January 4, 2008, in Germany, Austria, and Switzerland with the City Slang record label, in UK and Ireland in June 2008 on Nude, and in France in September that year.
The album took three years to produce and was met with mainly positive reviews from most German music magazines. The lyrics were pointed out as having particular strength for their often philosophical and cynical nature. In the UK, NME,[1] Uncut, the Guardian,[2] and Drowned in Sound[3] amongst others, highly rated the album.
The album peaked in the German Album Charts at 28,[4] and the resulting tour consisting of 19 almost completely sold out shows secured the tour as the most successful newcomer tour in Germany for 2008.[citation needed]
