How Town is an international ensemble led by Lennart Heyndels consisting of four voices, guitar and double bass. Their music - complex in its simplicity - has been described as contemporary multi-style post-pop music. Recently they released their first [untitled] album: a suite of music based on the E.E. Cummings poem Anyone lived in a pretty how town. Here the borders between music and poetry get blurred by engaging them in an intimate dialogue. How Town was founded in Amsterdam and is now based all over Europe (Amsterdam, Brussels, Riga, Berlin). It came into existence out of a need to combine today's popular music with the intricacies of the classical musics and the freedom of jazz music. It aims at making the improbable probable and seeing juxtapositions as advantages to give the listener a unique experience.

Lennart Heyndels (°1990) is a bass player and composer from Belgium.
