Dinner is the alias for Danish singer and producer Anders Rhedin. Since 2012, Dinner has released 3 EPs and a guided meditation tape. In April 2015 Captured Tracks will release a compilation of all 3 EPs.

Dinner’s songs seem to be inspired by his own life—in the lyrics you find references to cities, parties and girls (the latter sometimes referred to as “the divine feminine“). Dinner himself claims that “All the songs are about death and transcendence.”
At times, Dinner sounds a bit like a sun-bleached cassette tape you’d find stuck behind your car’s dashboard—last played at a party in Dusseldorf in 1984—full of echoes of sweaty depressions, spiritual longings, and early-morning trances.” At times, Dinner sounds a bit like melodic EBM-meets-Europop with elements of Danish darkwave. And sometimes he sounds more like the male descendant of Nico singing Eno-esque pop songs on discarded Julian Cope tracks. Whomever you ask, you’ll find Dinner’s sound defies simple classification.

Dinner lives a somewhat nomadic existence, having alternated between LA, Berlin and Copenhagen. This last year, Dinner’s itinerary has included falling in love with a baroness in Berlin, learning Qigong from a renowned Sifu on a mountainside in the Algarve, working on commercial pop songs in Hollywood (“The essence of dark magic,” according to Dinner), and playing shows at festivals and galleries all over Europe. His current location is LA, where he is working on his debut full-length, set for release in the fall of 2015 on Captured Tracks.
