Hess, Sol

Waiting For The Cricket Choir

Whereas folk music has been known to wander back and forth between past and present - from the great outdoors to crammed city sidewalks - it finds in Sol Hess' voice a certain boundlessness and timelessness. His 2024 album reveals itself in an ever-shifting beam of light, taking the form of a personal diary that almost unintentionally leads a way to transcendence. A key player of the French underground scene, Sol Hess invariably seems to avoid easy categorization or repetition. He has thus amongst other things been known to front fiery post-punk band Sweat Like An Ape!, conduct noisy post-jazz ensemble Sol Hess & The Boom Boom Doom Revue, or manage his own audacious record label, Club Teckel. And that is without mentioning his collaborations with graphic novelists, illustrators, and the world of live-entertainment and theatre.
