Album Info
The 12th of April marks the day for the very first release on Kanel Records.The artist behind this release is Icelandic Snævar Njáll Albertsson who is releasing his very first EP, Digital Age, under his solo moniker Dad Rocks!. Snævar also plays in Danish rock band Mimas.
Dad Rocks!, however, is quite different: The guitar here is acoustic and is accompanied by piano, trumpet, accordion, handclaps and more.
As Dad Rocks!, Snævar is inspired by acts such as Bill Callahan, Owen, Why?, Akron/Family and Do Make Say Think. This has led to a sound that is a unique mix of psych folk and lo-fi country with elements of hip hop and use of dubs as it’s also heard in Yoni Wolf’s musical universe.
However, 25-year-old Snævar Njáll Albertsson’s primary sources of inspiration are the relations closest to him. Most of all his little daughter who also inspired by name Dad Rocks!, which is of course also a pun on the ’dad rock’ genre. This use of pathos and irony is something that is explored throughout the release.
Lyrically, this is also a central aspect. The subjects are both big and small. Sometimes delivered almost cynically with words that are close to naïvism. Underneath this, the irony lurks at every corner, and even the title Digital Age explores the space between pathos and irony.
Digital Age was recorded on all analogue gear in Gl. Harlev Studio outside of Aarhus. The six songs are produced by Kasper Brinck and Snævar Albertsson, It was mastered by Søren Brylle. Johs Hejl appears on floorbass cello on Kids and Nothing Keeps Up.
The EP will be released both digitally and on a beautiful and environment-friendly WowWallet CD. A vinyl edition will also be pressed later this year if the people want it!
