thomas dybdahl - b a part [what a lovely mellow jam of a song thanks to norwegian singer/songwriter thomas dybdahl! like listening to a late summer sunset anthem, there's something so very homey about his music and i totally dig that.] http://feeds.feedburner.com/Wo ngiesMusicWorld

The Norwegian folk singer has been dodging Nick Drake comparisons all his life, but now, with his first-ever US release (despite a ton of albums to his name), Thomas Dybdahl feels like he's breaking through for the first time ... You can be forgiven if the name Thomas Dybdahl doesn't ring any bells. Thanks to a lack of distribution, the singer-songwriter has eluded attention on the North American continent for years, though he has been steadily churning out albums for nearly a decade in his native Norway. Dybdahl may have the misfortune of being labeled a troubadour--a [...]

[Happy Saturday, and happy birthday Kate Bush. The Yuck video for "Shook Down," below, is NSFW, so you've been warned, but it's so well done it should be shared ...] Your Saturday fare: ► L.A. Rising roars away a the L.A. Coliseum with a lineup of Rage Against the Machine, Muse, Rise Against, Ms. Lauryn Hill, Immortal Technique and El Gran Silencio. ► The Saturdays Off the 405 series continues at the Getty Center with the indie-tropicalia of [...]

You should at least be getting The Middle East's and Washed Out's new albums today. And who doesn't need another copy of Pretty Hate Machine? Nobody, that's who. Now if you are feeling a little frisky, pick up The Last Place from Army Navy... it will do your body soooo good! Army Navy: The Last Place Basement Jaxx: Basement Jaxx Vs. Metropole Orkest Dead Kennedys: Mutiny on the Bay [vinyl] Dirty Mittens: Heart [...]

It's inevitable that, as a music fan, numerous artists the world over will pass you by. Either artists making waves decades ago or bands gathering acclaim in your very own era, creeping just outside the circumference of your cultural spectrum. I consider myself a hunter/gatherer of artistic expression, from literature to music. And as much, and as deeply, as I look, there are constant, newfound sonic loves pouring into my life. In the past couple of months alone, I have fallen in love with the likes of Daniel Johnston, Sebadoh and Cranes , and with the release [...]

Thomas Dybdahl is poised to release his full-length debut album 'Songs' on July 4th, and to celebrate this fact the Norwegian one is to give away some quite frankly gnarly looking vinyl.

The sun always seems to shine at Europavox, and it's appreciated more than ever this year after the wind and rain we've left behind in Dublin. Apart from the weather, though, the festival has changed somewhat from 2010. Thumbing through the festival programme for the umpteenth time on the long train journey from Paris to Clermont-Ferrand on Thursday, it's clear the organisers have had a rethink about how they choose their headliners. Last year was top-heavy with names like Peter Doherty, Richard Hawley and Peter Hook; all veterans and, in the case of the latter two, perhaps too far removed [...]

Norwegian singer/songwriter Thomas Dybdahl has already conquered his home-country with a string of awards and collaborations already under his belt. July 4th will see the release of his worldwide full-length debut Songs , a heartfelt album exemplifying his haunting vocals. I caught up with him (in a virtual sense) to provide you with a brief introduction to the man behind the voice. How would you describe your music for anyone who hasn't heard it before? I wouldn´t. I hate doing it, it´s almost easier for an outsider to do it. [...]

Filed under: Video of the Day Artist: Thomas Dybdahl Video: 'From Grace' Highlight: In this minimalist and intimate video, the pop-folk troubadour serenades his gal with an emotional confession.

Have you ever heard a particular singer's voice and thought..."Man. I would LOVE this person to sing me a lullaby." To be honest, before hearing Norwegian singer/songwriter Thomas Dybdahl 's soothing vocals, neither had I. While Dybdahl is a complete original, his work has earned comparisons to music legends including Tim Buckley and Nick Drake . I also hear a little bit of James Blake in his voice, and I don't [...]

Thomas Dybdahl is no stranger to KCRW's airwaves as his lilting ballads have been a favorite for years. Dubbed "Norway's answer to Nick Drake," his US full-length debut is the first release...

Already an established musical star in his home country of Norway, Thomas Dybdahl will release his music to the rest of the world with the release of 'Songs' on Decca Records on June 6th. Described by NME as 'Norway's answer to Nick Drake', Thomas has also been compared to the likes of Jeff Buckley and Damien Rice. You know what to expect then...lush orchestration, intricate melodies complimented by a voice that will stop you in your tracks. Ahead of his gig at London's XOYO on May 30th, GoldFlakePaint caught up Thomas to ask him all about his Favourite [...]

Ben je dol op mannen met een gitaar die je qua stemgeluid doen denken aan Jeff Buckley en Damien Rice? Ga dan aanstaande dinsdag naar het concert van Thomas Dybdahl in Paradiso. Zijn muziek is het beste te omschrijven als romantisch met een melancholisch randje....dit randje is op het ene album overigens dikker dan de ander (hij heeft inmiddels al zo'n 8 albums uitgebracht). Sommige nrs zijn namelijk ontzettend zwaar en maken je spontaan depressief, terwijl andere nrs weer heel lieflijk klinken en je in DE meest romantische stemming ever brengen.... Thomas is geboren in Noorwegen en dat ze [...]
