Scandinavia has erupted with music talent recently.
Hugely respected artists such as Sigur Ros, Bjork and The Concretes have led the way, with countless bands and producers operating underneath the radar. It seems that the frozen north is beginning to heat up...
With his delicate acoustic based songwriting, Moddi has born comparisons to Damien Rice. Easy on the ear, for sure, but there are a number of jagged edges to the Norwegian newcomers songwriting.
Already well respected in his homeland, the singer teamed up with Valgeir Sigursson (Bjork, Kate Nash, Cocorosie, etc) to produce his debut album. The result is an impressive first statement.
Moddi seems to arrive fully formed, with his songwriting lungs taking deep breaths from the city air. Continually pushing forward, the soon to be released album 'Floriography' captures an ambitious young artist in motion.
Taken from his debut LP, 'Rubbles' is a typically delicate piece of songwriting. Backed by an eye catching video, you can catch the premiere on ClashMusic now...
