Folk artist Georg Bendemann is set to release The Judgement, his debut album, on November 8th, 2024, and he's given us an enticing preview with his single, “Well.”
This track, the fourth on the album, showcases Bendemann’s unique ability to weave deep narratives with a stunning simplicity, using the warm, resonant vocals that have become his hallmark. Inspired by Franz Kafka’s story of the same name, The Judgement takes listeners on a journey of self-reflection, redemption, and introspection, all of which Bendemann masterfully embodies in his music.
In “Well,” Bendemann’s vocals pull you in from the very first note, setting a contemplative mood that’s rich with emotional weight. His skilled acoustic guitar work builds a beautifully dreamy atmosphere, grounding listeners in Jude’s journey as he finds himself at a literal and metaphorical crossroads by a forest well. The lyrics capture Jude’s reflections on past actions and his search for purpose, painting a story that is both haunting and introspective.

Drawing inspiration from James Taylor’s One Man Dog and Arlo Guthrie’s Hobo’s Lullaby, Bendemann has crafted a sound that feels timeless, yet refreshingly personal. Recorded and produced entirely in his apartment, The Judgement shows Bendemann’s talent and artistic vision, not only as a songwriter but as a solo producer unafraid to tackle complex themes.
With this album, Bendemann invites us into Jude’s world, a character shaped by his struggle for redemption after an act of self-defense turns his life upside down. For folk fans eager for profound storytelling paired with heartfelt melodies, The Judgement is a must-listen album that will surely sign a fundamental step into this talented artist’s career. Mark your calendars for November 8th to experience the full journey.
