A catchy pop song about BDSM? You’ll find that on Aron Dahl’s long-awaited album Moth/Flame, released last year. Aron Dahl’s experimental indie-country is charming, bold, and moving – a musical embrace you can lean into.

Aron Dahl has a remarkable ability: he seamlessly combines explicit lyrics with catchy indiepop. In his genre-defying musical universe, you’ll encounter both vulnerability and boldness, simplicity and complexity. One moment, you’re leaning in to catch every word of his lyrics; the next, you’re floating away on dreamy synthesizers. With a sound inspired by country music, Aron Dahl crafts tender songs about fleeting encounters, care coming from an unexpected side, and heartbreak. In his music, Aron Dahl is at times vulnerable, at others humorous – a musical embrace you can lean into, a heart you can peek into.

Under the name Danielle Dahl, he debuted in 2018 with Loosening Orion’s Belt, an album celebrated by the Danish Arts Foundation as one of the year’s most innovative releases. The long-awaited follow-up, Moth/Flame, released in fall 2024, has earned praise for its diary-like, poetic lyrics. The album also reflects the personal transformation Aron Dahl himself has undergone – a change that has found a physical expression as well: his voice dropped nearly two octaves from the recording of the first song to the last. Aron Dahl previously graced our stage in 2018 and 2020. This year, he is joined by Anders Vestergaard (Yes Deer, Girls in Airports), Emil Palme (Clarissa Connelly, Yngel), Rasmus Kjær (Turist) og Ida Urd (Lucky Lo).  We predict an incredibly exciting 2025 for Aron Dahl and are thrilled to warmly welcome this eclectic musician back to ALICE.
