Høst means "autumn" in Norwegian, and just like the season the band blends many colors and textures, as well as jazz, post-rock, trip hop and improvised music.

The quartet laid its foundations in Toulouse, France thanks to their first album: "Doppler" released in April 2017. This first ambitious and uncompromising opus brought together both facets of the group: a quartet version, and Høst'Chestra - the extra large version including strings and a brass section.

Høst's music is jazz/post rock compositions which are strong and lyrical at times and raw and melancholic at others. They never overdo it, yet always bring enough inventiveness and madness making it impossible to get bored.

With an impressive palette of emotions, energies, and cinematographic soundscapes that invoke the most distant areas of one’s imagination, their music brings the audience on a journey to the great open spaces of the north, and to the barren desert moors. Both of these landcapes are sources of inspiration for the quartet who draw their influences from bands like Sigur Ros, Esbjorn Svensson Trio, or Jim Black Alasnoaxis.

Høst has also developed the concept of “Les Ateliers de L'Impro” - events around improvisational music - available both in the form of jam sessions and educational workshops, as well as a festival named “La Poutre” - a 3-day showcase of “liberated music” featuring artists from the Occitanie region.
