Norway's 'Majestic' (Paste) Thomas Dybdahl Makes Us Debut With 'songs' July 12 On Larry Klein's New Strange Cargo/Decca Records Imprint
New York, NY (Top40 Charts/ Shore Fire Media) Thomas Dybdahl, one of Norway's biggest musical stars, will make his US full-length debut with 'Songs' this summer, an intimate album of lush, intricately orchestrated pop with "the delicate suspense of a drawn breath" (NY Times). Strange Cargo, a new label created by multiple Grammy-winner Larry Klein in partnership with Decca Records/Universal Music Group, will release the album July 12. Listen to the striking, nuanced album track "Cecilia" here: https://bit.ly/gP7I2O and watch Thomas perform it live here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iZ1qaoxXaho

Hailed as "Norway's answer to Nick Drake" (NME), Thomas's songs linger with a suppressed intensity that also brings to mind Jeff Buckley and Damien Rice. Paste Magazine describes his music as "gently majestic...his craftsmanship is exhilarating to behold."

Album highlights include "From Grace," a gorgeous pop song underscored by plucky acoustic bass and swirling drums, and "All Is Not Lost," which flickers with Thomas' earthy tenor and chugging guitars, dissolving into a hazy instrumental. Lead single "Cecilia" glides on echoing slide guitar flourishes and weightless, breathy vocals. He cites an array of inspirations for his work including Tim Buckley's 'Happy Sad' (1969), Colin Blunstone's 'One Year' (1971), and Serge Gainsbourg's 'Histoire de Melody Nelson' (1971).

Dybdahl has received a number of Norwegian music awards, collaborated with a broad range of artists from electronic pioneers Morcheeba to acclaimed designer Phillippe Starck, and fronts the platinum-selling band The National Bank. He will tour the US this summer.

Larry Klein has produced work by Tracy Chapman, Shawn Colvin, Herbie Hancock, Joni Mitchell and Madeleine Peyroux among others and has won five Grammy awards. Says Klein, "I'm honored to be a part of bringing Thomas' music to the rest of the world. His work has an intrinsic emotional power, and reflects an attention to subtlety that I rarely hear."

'Songs' track list:

1. From Grace
2. A Love Story
3. Cecilia

5. The Great October Sound
