DRAMAS

DRAMAS skillfully master the art of the in-between: between a heavy heart and the knowledge that everything changes, that nothing stands still. With their debut album Nothing Is Permanent (2018), Viktoria Winter and Mario Wienerroither introduced a sound that moves effortlessly between art-pop, cinematic electronics and understated emotional intensity – intimate at its core, yet expansive in atmosphere.

Following their acclaimed albums Nothing Is Permanent (2018), DRAMAS (2021) and Jewel Drums (2025), the duo continue to expand their distinct musical universe with increasingly confident and emotionally resonant releases. Their upcoming single Idun (June 2026) captures DRAMAS at their most immediate and vulnerable yet: carried by muted electronics, a soft driving pulse and Viktoria Winter’s melancholic vocal delivery, the song drifts through emotional numbness, inner exhaustion and the quiet hope of slowly finding your way back to yourself. Without ever demanding attention, Idun unfolds with a hypnotic intensity that lingers long after it ends.

With Jewel Drums, DRAMAS returned from a longer album break with their most personal and adventurous work to date. Moving between cinematic minimalism, alternative pop, experimental electronics and moments of surprising directness, the album further deepened the duo’s unmistakable sonic language. Songs like Bloodbath, I Heard It On The Radio, AFK Mode, Fame and Undercover Dreamer helped establish DRAMAS far beyond Austria, receiving airplay on over 100 radio stations across Europe and steadily building an international audience.

Alongside their studio work, DRAMAS have earned a reputation as a captivating live act, performing at numerous festivals and touring with artists including Cosmo Sheldrake. Beyond DRAMAS, Mario Wienerroither also became internationally known through his viral Musicless Musicvideos, viewed millions of times worldwide and recognised with a BBC award.

At the centre of DRAMAS lies a fascination with contradictions: closeness and distance, fragility and resistance, silence and impact. Wienerroither combines cinematic textures, electronic production, percussion-heavy rhythms and subtle pop sensibilities with Winter’s unmistakable voice, creating songs that feel restrained on the surface, yet emotionally enormous underneath.

Currently back in the studio, DRAMAS are already working on a new album planned for 2027, continuing to push their evolving world into more intimate and emotionally expansive territory.
