Lindy Vopnfjord made his stage debut at the age of four, singing a cautionary song about nuclear war. Born to folk-singer parents, he toured Canada in a battered yellow school bus performing Icelandic folk songs with his family. Since then, he has grown to become a 6'7" gentle blonde giant, and has left the subject of atomic apocalypses behind to explore the more treacherous themes of love, life, and the beauty in loss.
Lindy's music seemingly defies explanation, its simplicity obfuscated by his ability to articulate such difficult experiences in song. Lindy's latest album, "The Suspension of Disbelief" is a complete work - a rare thing in a world where a "good" album requires only three of four decent songs. Each track on the album was as carefully worked as a chapter in a book, and all are as essential in forming the whole. Yet, perhaps the most defining quality in Lindy's music is its beauty in simplicity. His genius lies in his telling the biggest of truths in the simplest of ways.
This talent has served him well, and has caught the ear of those at The Orange Record Label. Led by Steven Ehrlick, Aubrey Winfield and Jill Snell, the label was developed by music lovers for music lovers tired of the formulaic, artless process driving much of music production today. Excitement is building at this virgin label, and Lindy, as their inaugral signing, is at the forefront of it all.
After watching and waiting for so long, the moment has finally come when Lindy is ready to explode. "Suspension" is a mesmerizing ride from start to finish, it will leave its listeners aching, ready to "fall off the floor, and come beautifully undone."
