Moddi - Thimbleweed

Norwegian artist Moddi is taking a break for awhile, but he's left us with one last new track for the time being.

Moddi - Smoke (video)

A new video from Norwegian artist Moddi for the track "Smoke".

Synne Sanden - When nobody's around (video)

With a fragile voice reminiscent of many other Scandinavian sirens (take your pick), but a delicate sound far more organic and reserved than most, this is Norwegian artist Synne Sanden and her single "When nobody's around". Her album of the same name is out now via and was produced by Bugge Wesseltoft and features guest appearances from an interesting cast of countrymates, including Mathias Eick, Mathias Stubø and Moddi. Recommended!
