about the record
Nick Höppner and Alex Kassian launch their collaborative project H.A.N.K. on Second Circle, debuting with an album entitled The Big Melt.
Born out of the unprecedented circumstances of the global pandemic, The Big Melt represents a departure from the duo's typical club-oriented productions, instead exploring their shared passion for Krautrock, ambient, and guitar-driven music. The album showcases a more introspective and experimental side of both artists.
Höppner and Kassian's creative partnership began in 2018 when Höppner released music from Kassian's project, Opal Sunn, on his label, Touch From A Distance. Their friendship quickly evolved into musical collaboration, with studio sessions taking an organic, freeform approach that embraces spontaneity and intuition.
The creation of The Big Melt spanned several years, resulting in what Höppner describes as his proudest release to date.
