HEERNT is a band moved by art, motivated by adventure, and defined only by its gravity toward important music. Combining the most powerful elements of jazz, indie rock, and electronic music, HEERNT has loosely coined its sound "experimental garage jazz", yet these words breathe separate meanings.

Experimental references the onstage tv, dual samplers, and original art installations that spout film, words and images unique to each song.
Garage pays tribute to the homespun spirit in which the music is conceived, and the rock and roll abandon in which it is performed. Jazz simply means that improvisation is ever-present, and that spontaneity is paramount.

HEERNT's fresh approach to song writing highlights their dedication to the balance between chaos and order, urgency and fun, dirty and clean. Such a focus ensures that both the rebel and the nerd will be moved by HEERNT's artistic, adventurous, and important music. Similar to the Soft Machine, HEERNT explores and expounds every musical avenue they encounter. The rock/jazz/indie blend is reminiscient of early Soft Machine, and I hope their ultimate destination is fraught with many musical side-roads and improvisational adventures. Ultimately, each recording is a stepping stone of note which makes their journey a listenable delight, and their ultimate journey a wonderful legacy of listening ambrosia; a palatable compliation that will sake thousands of thirsty ears.
