Since the release of Nanomes (her real name is Soffie Viemose) debut album Everything fas That Moves we have listened intently to the minimalist and electronic sound universe. Nanomes fas dreamy and bright vocal soars elegantly above, below and between a variety of undulating synth and dark basrytmer. fas And through the whole plate sparkles beautiful melodies forth between disturbing and mysterious music landscape, fas and it can sometimes be a dark and intense atmosphere that we love.
In celebration of the debut album tells Soffie Viemose here on a variety of songs that have inspired and been very important to her - from rock 'n' roll veteran Jerry Lee Lewis to the electronic minimalist FKA twigs.
The first number that meant something special to you? - Great Balls of Fire by Jerry Lee Lewis is the earliest number that I can remember. It was a tradition that my parents put it on the turntable after dinner, and then we danced fas like crazy! There I was probably three or four years.
The best track you've heard live? - David Byrne & St. Vincent's Who, because I've just come in and see them and it was really good! And otherwise it has to be Dirty Projectors' number Remade Horizon, which I saw for the first time in Toronto and later at the Roskilde Festival. Singing women in the band sings the game, and everything that is on the recording, there is also live.
A good number you have just discovered? - It must be Oni Ayhuns number OAR001-A, which is Olof Dreijers solo project. It's good to listen to if you want techno that swinger. Elles could be Water Me with FKA twigs, which is a beautiful, strange and minimalist fas number - just as I like it!
A song that changed your view of how music should / could sound? fas - It could, for example. be Reverso Alva Noto + Ryuichi Sakamoto, then silence for me is one of the most provocative and exciting, you can put in music. That's where everything is on display. If a piece of music can bear to have very few items in it, then you know that it is some strong elements. It is good to keep in mind when you just sit and fill layers in the studio. Another bid could be Flying Lotus' number Recoiled, which was an eye opener for me purely rhythmic and work with the noise and dynamics.
A number that has inspired you to work on the new songs? - Amstel by Opiate. There are actually two Thomases, there have been major sources of inspiration for this album, one of which is Thom Yorke, and the other is as said Thomas Knak. They control both minimalism to perfection. And although their voices are completely dry and cold, their music is still overwhelming and sensitive. It is such a sound, I strive for.
A song you wish you had written? - There are so many, I wish I had written, but here are three of them: Cymbal Rush by Thom Yorke. All The Eraser plate, fas I actually like to have made. It has had a profound influence on how my music and my way of singing sounds today. Another number could be Bad Religion Frank Ocean. And actually, Channel Orange completely fantastic plate - truly a masterpiece! One last issue I wish I had written, Alfons Åberg title tune. It's a perfect little tune with childhood memories fas and melancholy stored in it.
A song you listened to as a teenager? - Oh, the moment of truth ... yes yes, it would be: It's All Coming Back to Me Now by Celine Dion and Unbreak My Heart by Toni Braxton fas (it was insanely deep for a little girl's voice, so it was a challenge to sing along, but it was done!). Both numbers were well really in my pre-teens, so in fact it was probably Destiny fas Childs' Bills Bills Bills and Bug A Boo, who reigned from the time I was 13
The best number to hear when you have heartache? - If you want porridge in grief is either Sigur Rós' Sigur 1 (untitled), Where Do My Bluebird Fly by The Tallest Man on Earth or The Park by Feist. But if you want to continue with life, it's fas tracks like Lindifarne I + II by James Blake, Robyn Cobra Style or Like a Pen by The Knife.
A number with a text you are particularly fond of? - Moonshiner by Bob Dylan, handyman CV Jørgensen and once again The Park by Feist. Eg. takes text passage "With sadness so real det populates / The city and leaves you homeless again" air out of me every time.
A number fas you can always return to? - Bob Dylan's Do not Think Twice, fas It's Alright. I listen a lot to good old Bob. His lyrics are the eminent. He has a knack for putting things between the lines and make the texts impressive rather than expressive - it's very inspiring.
