• CODY (Come On Die Young) are a 7-piece indie rock band with strong alternative country and folk influences. They would certainly appeal to the same audience as Fleet Foxes - and there are touches of Buffalo Springfield and the songs of Elliott Smith, although the lead singer of CODY, Kaspar Kaae, has a richer voice.

• In fact, the band originally started as a one man singer-songwriter project by Kaspar Kaae, but has gradually grown into a community of 7 great musicians. CODY are Danish, although any listener would imagine them to be from the States. ‘Songs’ is their debut album, following an acclaimed EP in January 2009, after supporting Black Francis (2007), Bonnie 'Prince' Billy (2008) - and soon Tindersticks (2010).

• Kaae’s songs are often hushed, melancholic, with memorable melodies, building slowly and patiently to beautiful and liberating choruses. Their acoustic-electric sound is a subtle blend of violin, pedal steel, banjo or dobro, the female harmonies of cellist Line Felding, plus guitar, bass, drums - all led by Kaspar Kaae’s captivating vocals.

• Many Danish critics voted it their album of the year at the end of 2009, and CODY’s songs have already been used in several Danish films - ‘Remember When’ is featured in the new German Warner Bros. film “12 Meter Ohne Kopf”. They have toured Germany several times and have upcoming dates across Europe.
