Moddi, the up-and-coming singer/songwriter from the very north of Norway makes some of the most beautiful and honest pop music I've heard in a long, long time. His debut album Floriography (February 2, 2010) is packed with atmospheric, calming tunes and clever lyrics; truly music fit for the amazing coastline of northern Norway (in Senja, where I have family from myself), the land of the midnight sun in the summertime and aurora borealis in the winter.
Growing up with icelandic music all around him, you can clearly hear that he's been highly influenced by Björk's hazy vocals and compositions that can be compared to the post-rock genre. The album itself was also recorded in Iceland and produced by Valgeir Sigurðsson, whom you might also recognize as the producer behind Sigur Rós and Múm. The future does indeed look very bright for Moddi and his lovely, little band, which with no doubt has the potential of making it big. Real big.
