Songs

Thomas Dybdahl is a multi award winning artist and one of the most talented singer-songwriters to emerge from the Norwegian music scene in recent years. He is now preparing to unleash his irresistibly serene and intimate sound on the rest of the world. As is often the case with distinctive endeavours, the creative path of Thomas Dybdahl --the 32-year-old guitarist, singer, songwriter, and native of Sandnes, Norway -- has been, for nearly a decade, all his own.

These are the romantic, introspective, out-going, hum-worthy, adventurous tunes of a guy who once, with characteristic honesty, cited the Mozart Requiem as his favourite piece of music but who laughs off any art-rock ideas of literally trying to reinvent the pop song from a classical music vantage point. „Songs? is an often mesmerizing demonstration of how Thomas Dybdahl does things. It is the sound of how one gifted Norwegian connects with a million other sounds, impulses, colours, and emotions, all assembled with particular sonic poise that always grooves, never overwhelms.
