The Ondt and the Gracehoper

About Me

The Ondt and the Gracehoper is centered around the songs and production of Troels HÃ¸egh with help from friends, family (not really) and whoever is in the room when the red light is on.
The music has settled in the area between the organic sound of acoustic instruments and the noise of electronic malfunction. Good when you're alone hugging your blanket, not that great for the dance floors...
The sound quality is not very good when you're listening online so please take a moment to download the songs as we spend a long time making them.
