Album: Creation Keeps the Devil Away/Burn (EP) 

Label: Nublu 

Genre: Electropop, pop 

Comments: Creation Keeps the Devil Away, the debut LP from Hess Is More--the nom de tune of Danish musician Mikkel Hess--is due out this October; this 4-track EP packages the title track with another song from the album, "Burn", along with piano versions of the two tunes. "Creation Keeps the Devil Away" is a well-constructed dance pop tune with a funky bass line that brings to mind Fujiya & Miyagi, while the promoter describes "Burn" as "a twisted homage to Talking Heads' 'Burning Down the House.'" It also sounds very Scandinavian, in all the right ways. Play tracks 1 and 2.
