Wood asked to work with Hjalte after he wrote to the legendary producer asking for advice ahead of his first record.

Wood asked to work with Hjalte after he wrote to the legendary producer asking for advice ahead of his first record. And there’s a new sense of confidence here, an extra bite to the lyrics, an extra depth to that unhurried voice. “I have become a better songwriter, a better singer, and a better guitar player,” Hjalte emphasises. “I’ve kept the same intention as last time though, focusing on making a full-length album, focusing fully on the music.”
A subtle, but undoubtedly bold expansion of his sound, Waves of Haste consists of nine spellbinding songs, and after meeting on that big apple trip, was mixed and mastered by Daniel Goodwin, a producer heralded for his work with the likes of Kevin Morby and Whitney, among many others. That pairing brings out the best in Hjalte’s songwriting, highlighting those contrasts between Norway and New York, sounding at once both modern and elegantly aged, tipping its had to the soulful sound of the 70s.
Den unge sangskriver, sanger og guitarist Hjalte Ross udgav i efteråret 2018 sit anmelderroste debutalbum ”Embody” - en plade der startede en stor rejse for den unge danske kunster. Ross er nu klar med sit seneste album med titlen ’Waves of Haste’, som udkom d. 20 november 2020. Hjalte Ross fortæller at han siden udgivelsen af debutalbummet 'Embody' i 2018 har knoklet med at lave 'den svære toer', en proces der har sendt ham til både New York, London og isoleret fra alt på en lille ø i det nordligste Norge. Hjalte Ross siger selv om processen at han er blevet en bedre sangskriver, sanger og guitarist. Derudover fortæller han har oplevet at det var tydeligere for ham hvad han gerne vil med sin musik. Pladen er skabt i samarbejde med John Wood (Pink Floyd, Nick Drake, etc.), Daniel Goodwin (Whitney, Kevin Morby, etc) og artwork er lavet af Kasper Eistrup.
Tid og tendenser bider ikke på Hjalte Ross - det gør til gengæld løfter om kvalitet og uopslidelige sange fra det sted i hjertet, hvor de største perspektiver bor. Hjaltes sange foldes til koncerter ud sammen med hans sympatiske band, hvilket løfter sangene op i luften og lader dem med yderligere gennemslagskraft. Når Hjalte Ross og hans band har fremført Ross' sange live over de sidste par år, er de blevet taget godt imod af både publikum og anmeldere. Soundvenue gav således hans koncert på Spot Festival 2019 fem stjerner og kaldte det ”en noget nær perfekt koncert”.
