A graduate of Berklee College of Music, the music of Jens Kuross occupies a rare space in the world with his particular way of melding evocative lyrics and dreamy arrangements with introspective, yet sublime songwriting. In the last two years, the multi-talented singer-songwriter has released a string of hypnotic releases, most recently his acclaimed EP “Art! at the expense of mental health, Vol. 2”, which was released in October 2018 and served as the second instalment of his multi-faceted ‘Art! at the expense of mental health’ project.
Live, Jens has performed across the world, including headline dates at Omeara and Servant Jazz Quarters in London, and has supported Bonobo, Rhye, Go Go Penguin and RY X, who he also performs with as an active member of The Acid alongside Adam Freeland and Steve Nalepa.
More details on Jens’ debut album will be coming soon. For now, Jens has said the following about the upcoming record, “How are you supposed to sardonically reject social media driven, style obsessed, scenester music culture when a penchant for sincere song-writing and a reluctantly held Instagram account are your only tools? – I haven’t a clue. But I think, among other things, this record is a work trying to reconcile that contradiction whilst bemoaning the digital revolution for reducing all us fair-weather contrarians to hypocrites.”
