Der Assistent is Berlin-based musician and producer Tom Hessler. His dubby pop blends jazzy Casio tones, westcoast woodwinds, and wonky guitar solos into trippy tales of mystery, crime, and amore. Relaxed yet rich in good vibrations, his songs are a "Message of Indulgence"—gentle themes for our fragile lives, including a timeless ode to the letter W.
