Hesse Kassel

Hesse Kassel in Monarch

Formed in Santiago, Chile, in late 2022, Hesse Kassel have quickly established themselves as one of the most compelling acts in Chile's independent music scene. Following a busy year of live performances in 2024, the six-piece built a growing fanbase with the release of La Brea (2025), an ambitious debut featuring eight tracks spanning nearly 80 minutes. The album blends unpredictable structures, dense atmospheres and sonic exploration across post-rock, art rock, jazz and math rock, drawing comparisons to bands such as Swans and black midi.

In July 2026, the band released Morir Saltando, their second album and the focus of their upcoming European tour. Known for their intense, experimental live performances and unpredictable shifts in rhythm and dynamics, Hesse Kassel will bring their music to seven European countries in February and March 2027, including two shows alongside Argentine band Winona Riders. The band will play a 90-minute set; don't miss their debut in Berlin!
