Simon Holscher - Inner Home (2020)

Inner Home is the debut album of drummer/composer Simon Hölscher. The album has been released in May 2020 on vinyl and cd. The album contains musical postcards from Aalborg, Amsterdam and remote places. It also celebrates Simon’s belief that we all carry our home inside of us, thanks to the people we meet, the places we visit and the memories we collect. It’s safe to say that Inner Home is one of Aalborg’s most international albums.

It was early adopted by Dutch label ZenneZ Records, which also represents artists like Joris Teepe, Hermine Deurloo (feat. Steve Gadd), Rembrandt Frerichs, Kika Sprangers and The Preacher Men.

Simon is a soon graduating Master’s student at the Royal Academy of Music in Aalborg, Denmark. His sound ranges from big band jazz to indie rock. In the same year, he performed with jazz great Tineke Postma in the HKU Big Band and ran a support show for Sigur Rós with another band. Touring in Europe has further shaped him as a musician and human being. Needless to say, Inner Home is heavily influenced by this all. Modern jazz, funk, fusion and breakbeat music intertwine on this special record that will speak to many ears and souls.

The band consists of musicians from Denmark, Latvia, Czech Republic and the Netherlands:
Casper Hejlesen (guitar); Dan Hejslet (trumpet, flugelhorn); Edgars Cīrulis (piano, keys); Jan Sedlák (bass); Simon Hölscher (drums, composition); Thomas Hust (harmonica).
