Man On A Wire
Thomas Dybdahl
Strange Cargo / Virgin Records
WE SAY
That Thomas Dybdahl isn't more well known outside his native Norway, where he boasts multi-platinum status and Norwegian Grammy awards aplenty, could well be down to the fact he's the kind of artist that fans want to keep to - and for - themselves. Hailed by the NME as 'Norway's answer to Nick Drake', he certainly inspires the same kind of quasi-religious devotion, very much in evidence among the reverent crowd at his spellbinding Communion showcase at St Pancras Old Church recently. The crucial difference is that, with exquisite new album What's Left Is Forever (September 16), Dybdahl looks likely to shake off the 'undiscovered gem' tag while he's still alive. Lead single But We Did found fans at Radios 1 and 2, Xfm and Amazing Radio, while Man On A Wire showcases Dybdahl's unique voice on his most accessible radio track to date. He returns to the UK with full band next month, followed by a European tour playing botanical gardens and derelict spaces from Paris to Oslo. Music to immerse yourself in.
