Pål MODDI Knutsen comes from the far north of Norway. With his mother’s accordion, a stolen Russian display mandolin and his own well-worn blue guitar, Moddi makes music that has a life of its own. Sometimes it feels like a huge band session, full of noise and loud passion; at other times it can be so small, quiet, and discreet that you might feel the need to sing along to help it continue.

Moddi’S debut album, “Floriography” was recorded in Iceland together with producer valgeir sigurdsson (Björk, Múm, CocoRosie, etc.) and has already become a favourite amongst critics and media.

“Floriography” is set for an international release early 2011.
