Moddi – Set the House on Fire (2013, Norway)
As randomly chosen via Fedi survey,[1] our next spotlight is on number 109 on The List, submitted by nathanlovestrees.
Stunning, melancholic folk from musician and activist Pål Moddi Lue aka Moddi.[2] FFO Damien Rice, the sea, close listening, being north of the 60th parallel, goosebumps.
If you dig this one, I highly suggest checking out the entire Moddi discography. Most of his albums are in the same vein as Set the House on Fire, with varying degrees of Norwegian lyrics. His 2016 album though, Unsongs, while sonically similar to the rest is singular in its concept, as it contains covers/reinterpretations of songs, artists, and genres from across the world that were banned, censored, penalized, or worse. For you keeners who have peaked at our Links page, you may have already seen the album’s accompanying website that describes the story behind each song that’s covered, complete with videos and sources. It’s a really beautiful project, well worth checking out.
- The survey choices that led to this spotlight were: “You’re doin’ the Housequake”, “Hey question – does anybody know about the Quake?”, “Bullshit!”, and “You can’t get off until you make the house shake” (following a survey that had “We gonna show you what to do”/”You put your foot down on the two”/”You jump up on the one”/”Now you’re having fun”). The last option was the winning selection, and so the survey result was translated as picking an album in The List that contained a word in the phrase – in this case, “house”. ↩︎
- Previously Pål Moddi Knutsen, the former name still used on the Unsongs website mentioned at the end of the blog post. ↩︎

Messing around with the 7th Heaven mod manager on Steam Deck. So many cool mods available!
This is with ChaOS for better character models and New Threat 2.0 (game type B) for new content/gameplay.
Also added 60FPS and widescreen.

This time of year I love listening to Norwegian indie/folk musician Moddi. Maybe it's the geography finding its way into music, or perhaps something about the lyrics, but it fits these shorter days like a mitten.
His (2013 and *mostly* English) album Set The House On Fire is exceptional from beginning to end, a perfect winter companion, especially on snowy and blowy days like today.
