Thomas Dybdahl’s Captivating ‘All These Things’ Out Now (V2)
Los Angeles Troubadour Show With Lera Lynn Set For Jan 25, U.S. To Tour Announcment To Follow
Thomas Dydbahl’s smoldering collection of bedroom whispers, 'All These Things,' is out now (V2). Since its release, the album received high praise from Billboard in their premiere featuring the title track and video. KCRW and KUT both selected singles as “Songs of the Day." All Music gave an especially noteworthy and spot-on comparison, declaring "the sound exists at a crossroads where David Crosby's If I Could Only Remember My Name and Tim Buckley's underappreciated Sefronia meet."

Thomas will soon announce his first U.S. tour in a number of years, including The Troubadour in LA on Jan. 25, a co-bill performance with Lera Lynn. Lera is also featured on the album, as well as in Thomas’ ongoing video series. Thomas has been releasing videos of live sessions filmed in LA over the past several weeks, and today he reveals “Rescue Me.”

To make ‘All These Things,’ Thomas flew to LA from his home in Norway and recorded the entire project in just 3 days. This is his 3rd official U.S. release, and his third time working with Larry Klein (they were nominated for a GRAMMY for their last album together). Klein describes this album as "the sonic equivalent of 'Day of the Locust.'"
The band featured is a dream team of musicians: James Gadson (drums - The Temptations, Bill Withers, Beck), Dean Parks (guitars – Steely Dan, Michael Jackson), Patrick Warren (keys – Bob Dylan, Bruce Springsteen), Dan Lutz (bass), Brian MacLeod (drums – Madonna, Sheryl Crow) and David Baerwald (guitar – Sheryl Crow, Joni Mitchell).
