Musical melancholy and zest for life
Now the Danish duo HOEG & NILSSON is ready with their debut album 'These Are the Days'.
Twelve songs from two gentlemen who have spent most of their lives in the service of music.
 
The inspiration comes from artists such as Leonard Cohen, Johnny Cash and Tom Petty.
But the style of 'These Are the Days' belongs to the two gentlemen, Henning & Robert, with the surnames 'Hoeg' & 'Nilsson' alone.
 
'Let's just call it Americana-Country-Pop-Rock,' says Robert Nilsson over a vintage whisky.
'When you have grown up with both Lou Reed, Willie Nelson and Suzanne Vega in your ears, the result can only be wild and different,' says Henning Høeg.
 
'In my life, music has played a role that can never be overstated. No matter where I hit the calendar, the music has been there by my side and in my heart,' says Henning, who has been writing and recording together with Robert since the start of the Covid pandemic.
 
The two new friends were introduced by a mutual old friend. And only recently did the two meet face-to-face.
 
While Robert Nilsson lives in the heart of Elsinore, Henning Høeg lives on the other side of the Atlantic in the American city of Rochester in the state of Michigan.
 
Via modern technology, the two have communicated and created music via sound files across the ocean.
 
It was not until the beginning of September that Henning and Robert met face to face. And the meeting in Elsinore proved that the musical chemistry did not stand alone.
 
Thus, guitar was played, whiskey was drunk and home-cooked food was eaten until the bright morning.
'I love when a song hurts a little... in a good way.'
 So said Robert Nilsson, who in HOEG & NILSSON stands for the picturesque, catchy and sometimes dramatic musical landscapes.
 
It is therefore Robert who usually starts the process when he sends his tracks from Elsinore.
At home in Michigan, the music ticks into Henning's home studio, and then the imagination is given free rein.
 
'Robert's musical presentation always hits just the right buttons. And it usually doesn't take much more than a few hours, maybe a day or two, before I'm ready with both melody voices and lyrics," says Henning Høeg.
 
When both lead vocals and harmony voices comes to Elsinore, Robert Nilsson gets down to mixing and production. And the result is as Henning describes:
 
"Robert is not only musically unique, he is also a perfectionist, so it is a pleasure. And all twelve songs on 'These Are the Days' are for me musical dreams come true.

​Musikalsk melankoli og livslyst 
 
Så er den danske duo HOEG & NILSSON klar med deres debutalbum 'These Are the Days'.
Tolv sange fra to herrer, der har brugt det meste af deres liv i musikkens tjeneste.
 
Inspirationen kommer fra kunstnere som Leonard Cohen, Johnny Cash og Tom Petty.
Men stilen på 'These Are the Days' tilhører ene og alene D'herrer, Henning & Robert, med efternavnene 'Hoeg' & 'Nilsson'.
 
'Lad os bare kalde det Americana-Country-Pop-Rock,' siger Robert Nilsson over en årgangs-whisky.
'Når man er vokset som med både Lou Reed, Willie Nelson og Suzanne Vega i ørerne, så kan resultatet kun blive vildt og anderledes," siger Henning Høeg.
 
'I mit liv har musikken spillet en rolle, der aldrig nogensinde kan overdrives. Uanset, hvor jeg slår ned i kalenderen, har musikken været der ved min side og i mit hjerte,' siger Henning, der har skrevet og indspillet sammen med Robert siden starten af Covid pandemien.
 
De to nye venner blev introduceret af en fælles gammel ven. Og først for nylig mødtes de to face-to-face.
Mens Robert Nilsson bor i hjertet af Helsingør, holder Henning Høeg til på den anden side af Atlanten i den amerikanske by Rochester i staten Michigan.
Via moderne teknologi har de to kommunikeret og kreeret musik via lydfiler på tværs af verdenshavet.
 
Først i starten af september 2022,  mødtes Henning og Robert ansigt til ansigt. Og mødet i Helsingør beviste, at den musikalske kemi ikke stod alene.
Der blev således spillet guitar, drukket whisky og spist hjemmelavet mad til den lyse morgen.
 
'Jeg elsker, når en sang gør lidt ondt ... på den gode måde.'
Sådan siger Robert Nilsson, der i HOEG & NILSSON står for de både maleriske, iørefaldende og til tider dramatisk musiklandskaber.
Det er således Robert, der som regel starter processen, når han sender sine tracks fra Helsingør.

Hjemme i Michigan tikker musikken ind i Hennings hjemmestudie, og så får fantasien frit spil.
'Roberts musikalske oplæg trykker altid på de helt rigtige knapper. Og det tager som regel ikke meget mere end nogle timer, måske en dag eller to, før jeg er klar med både melodistemmer og tekst," siger Henning Høeg.
 
Med både lead vokal og harmonistemmer velankommet til Helsingør, går Robert Nilsson i gang med miks og produktion. Og resultatet er som Henning beskriver:
 
"Robert er ikke alene et musikalsk unikum, han er også perfektionist, så det er en fornøjelse. Og samtlige tolv sange på 'These Are the Days' er for mig musikalske drømme, der gået i opfyldelse.
