Norwegian award winner, Kaada, receives his first international release on Ipecac. Leftfiled soundtrack experimentalism.
This cool, playful and unpretentious debut album from Norwegian artist Kaada is a great pop album with a touch of madness one shouldn't miss!
Kaada flirts with many genres in a humorous way but never loses control. His commitment to keep his music interesting makes it timeless and energetic. Kaada's sound - pop music with a rock attitude and 60s soul influence - is not revolutionary but definitely original! As Kaada himself puts it: "it's a very honest record, it's very me."
The sublime mix of beat samples, exciting rhythm breaks and great melodies makes this one of the most diverse and stylistically mature debuts for quite a while.
Through energetic live shows and four albums with the band Cloroform, Kaada has obtained a solid reputation and underground prestige in the Norwegian music scene over the last 5 years.
The album "Thank You For Giving Me Your Valuable Time," first released October 2001, was one of the most critically acclaimed albums of 2001/2002 in Norway. The album was named as one of the ten most important releases of 2001 by Billboard Magazine (Norway). In 2000 he started scoring films. In August 2002, he received the Golden Clapboard at the Norwegian International Film Festival. The Golden Clapboard is an honorary award handed out by the Norwegian film industry. Kaada is the youngest person ever to receive this prestigious award. Now Kaada's ready to take on the world.
