Release Notes:
One of Norway's most popular and acclaimed singer/songwriters, Thomas Dybdahl
has gained a growing international following for his elegant and expressive
songs of love and loss, which have earned him comparisons to Nick Drake and Jeff
Buckley. Born in 1979, Dybdahl first caught the attention of music fans as a
guitarist with the funk/acid jazz ensemble Quadraphonics, who had a following in
their native Norway and eventually did some touring in Canada and the United
States. Dybdahl had begun writing songs of his own with a folk-rock/alt-country
feel that didn't fit in with Quadraphonics, and in 2000 he cut a solo EP, Bird.
The record received small sales and little press notice, and a second EP, 2001's
John Wayne, fared no better. Dybdahl's luck changed for the better with his
first full-length album, 2002's ...That Great October Sound; primarily written
during a visit to New York City with Dybdahl playing most of the instruments,
the album's leadoff track, "From Grace," was embraced by Norwegian radio and the
album went gold. The follow-up, Stray Dogs, was equally successful, and in 2004
One Day You'll Dance for Me, New York City became Dybdahl's first album created
specifically for release in the United States and Canada. (A Danish version was
released a year later, and was also made available as part of a box set with
...That Great October Sound and Stray Dogs, called The October Trilogy.) An
album by Dybdahl's side project, the National Bank, was also released in 2004.
Dybdahl signed a deal with Rykodisc for the release of his fourth solo set,
2006's Science, and in the spring of 2007 he launched his first tour of the
United States. Dybdahl returned in 2010 with a self-titled studio effort on PIAS
as well as Waiting for That One Clear Moment on Universal. In 2011, Dybdahl
released the career-spanning overview Songs on Decca.
