Hess Is More

Hess Is More started as a solo project for Danish musician Mikkel Hess, and has over the years developed into a circular transatlantic ensemble including musicians from Copenhagen, New York and Berlin. Hess Is More has released 9 albums and a bunch of EP’s and singles.

The live septet formation, with it’s unique instrumentation and unorthodox arrangements creates a very danceable yet at times puzzling concert. Catchy melodies and chant like lyrics can haunt you for days…

The new recordings are a celebration of the energy and interplay of the live ensemble – sounding in the borderland between electronic dance music, afrobeat, krautrock and jazz.
