Daði Freyr — live event
Daði Freyr has made a record. You’ll know this if you’ve been following his recent activity. The first third, released in March 2023, was an EP named “I’m Making An Album 1/3”. The second EP will be named “I’m Still Making An Album 2/3” and the final, full project, when it arrives on 25 August, “I Made An Album”. It’s a very Daði Freyr way of looking at things: drily funny with no unnecessary fuss. The Icelandic icon made his name in a sweet turquoise sweatshirt with a pixel portrait of his face representing his country on Eurovision and his songs are defined by an innate sense of niceness: there are no tricks or twists, no snark, just genuine good feeling and the suggestion that it might be fun to dance around in the kitchen for a bit. His first album is a warm, loving collection of electropop that introduces Daði Freyr as an artist with plenty more to offer. He made an album and it’s going to get you dancing all night. Freyr’s life has always been drenched in music. His parents met in a marching band and there was a lot of singing at home while he was growing up - Stevie Wonder, Icelandic pop and the dulcet tones of Sting (“Dad’s a big Police fan,” he laughs). As a teenager he discovered nu-metal, the fire and angst of bands like Linkin Park and System of a Down surreptitiously cementing pop frameworks and melodic hooks in his musical education. “I think the rock that I listened to when I was younger was very poppy,” he says. “A lot of the songs have a very pop structure.”
