Amidst the fervent anticipation of the release of Stac's long awaited second album (due in the spring of 2014) our favourite soulful songstress has found the time to gather together ten of her favourite pieces of contemporary music for your delictation, in the shape of the third instalment of the "Allo Love" series.

Stac is a real music lover (not a fighter) and her selection exemplifies the breadth of her knowledge, and her perfectly pitched taste. A sonorous collection, it kicks off in grandiose style with music from The London Bulgarian Choir, no less, and remains in deep musical waters with the Matthew Herbert produced Hejira, trumpeter and friend Matthew Halsall and close contemporaries, Natural Self and Blue Daisy.

You'll also find a quartet of cherry picked Wah Wah 45s nuggets, with music from The Gene Dudley Group, Henri-Pierre Noel, Lea Lea and Scrimshire fitting perfectly into Stac's personal soundtrack, and the latter's cut also featuring the lady herself on fine vocal form. 

Finally, Stac also appears on a stunning downtempo delight from the mysterious William Sommers with whom she duets on the delicate "Delight", a tune that sums this compilation up perfectly. Enjoy.

Hess recently returned from performing a series of ensemble concerts in New York and now sets his sights on his home of Denmark with several shows lined up, among them a sold out release concert at Hotel Cecil. The album, titled CÆKE, will drop April 23 and sees Hess return as (mostly) solo act.

Trained as a drummer, Hess started Hess Is More as an electronic solo project in the mid 00’s and has since evolved into a larger ensemble featuring musicians from both sides of the Atlantic. Hess Is More has released 10 albums and several EP’s and cross-disciplinary works in a career spanning two decades.

Hess Is More has received high acclaim as a live act, winning multiple awards for their cross-disciplinarian shows that often feature elements of theater and art installation.
