DAD ROCKS!Band: www.dadrocks.co.uk Myspace: www.myspace.com/dadrocksmusic Label: Kanel Records / Big Scarry Monsters. Contact: Robert INFO Dad Rocks! is Icelandic/Danish Snævar Njáll Albertsson, singer of the fantastic Danish 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, 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 his work. 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 debut albums title 'Digital Age' explores the space between pathos and irony.
