Hessismore: "Myheadisaballroom / Whoneedsapalaceanyway"
Album Release Concert Series in New York, August 18-22.
In between performances at The Kennedy Center (DC) and The Royal Theatre (CPH) Hessismore will celebrate the release of their new album with 5 consecutive nights at good old Nublu!
A unique chance to experience the full transatlantic 8 piece ensemble live in concert - at their return to the intimate club where they played their very first US concert back in 2008.
“Myheadisaballroom / Whoneedsapalaceanyway” is the first Hessismore album to feature the full live ensemble.
The music was assembled during the group's residency at The Clocktower Gallery and recorded mostly “live to tape” in Midnight Sun Studio by W. Andrew Raposo (Midnight Magic).
Upon hearing the new album, Scott Hull, a veteran mastering engineer who has worked with everyone from Lou Reed and John Zorn to Bruce Springsteen and Edie Brickell, said, “There was just one track that reminded me of something I have worked on before.”
So, as far as genre and stuff like that it might be best that you form your own opinion by checking out this track preview:
