Hess Is More

Hess Is More is the project of Mikkel Hess, one of the most creative names in Denmark’s music scene. Grew up in a family of musicians, Mikkel took his vision further by studying drums with jazz legend Ed Thigpen. Following the first record The Soundtrack, consisting songs for theatrical play of The Wind in the Willows, he reworked this album with additional songs and released Tip Top Dynamo. His compilation album Hits released from Nublu Records was selected to the ""Top 10 Best music of 2009” by Time Out Magazine New York. Blending elements of jazz, electronica and Scandinavian folk, Hess Is More and his team embrace melancholia and joy together.
