Jenny Rossander (born 27 January 1990), known professionally as Lydmor (Danish pronunciation: [ˈlyːdmoːɐ̯]), is a Danish singer-songwriter.

Early life

[edit]

Jenny Rossander was born in Aarup, Denmark, on the island of Funen.[1] She and her sister were raised by a single mother.[2] At age 14, she moved to Struer before attending boarding school on Langeland.[1] She later moved to Aarhus at age 17 to finish high school, after having previously dropped out.[3] She worked several jobs during her half-year away from school, including cleaning jobs and a call center position.[3]

While living in Aarup, Rossander began writing songs at age 14.[4] After finishing high school at Århus Statsgymnasium, she purchased her own studio equipment, including a microphone, audio interface, and keyboard.[3] After beginning to make songs at home, she began making electronic music at Frontløberne with a group.[3] She explained in an interview that during her time at Frontløberne is when she received the name Lydmor (lit. 'sound mother') after frequently recording demos for other artists for free.[3] As Lydmor, she played her first concert at Viva lá Revolution in Aalborg.[3]

Career

[edit]

Alongside Bon Homme, Lydmor released the collaborative album Seven Dreams of Fire on 6 November 2015.[5] The duo debuted the song "Dream of Fire" with the release of a music video.[6]

Lydmor, in 2016, left Denmark and moved to Shanghai, where she lived for six months.[7] She later admitted that following the release of Y in 2015, she found her music and persona as a musician "boring."[8] Her next album, I Told You I'd Tell Them Our Story released in September 2018, which featured Shanghai on the cover.[9][8] The album received generally positive reviews.[10]

On 22 February 2018, at the annual Gaffa Awards, Lydmor performed during the show. She made her appearance entirely nude, wearing fluorescent paints while performing under a blacklight.[11] The fluorescent paint remained a part of her performances during her 2018 concerts.[8] Due to her appearance at the Gaffa Awards, she admitted being sent a letter directly from a German TV show where he was scheduled to perform, reminding her to dress "appropriately."[8] In June, taking the place of Susanne Sundfør, Lydmor performed at the 2018 NorthSide Festival.[12]

On 29 May 2020, Gaffa published an article written by Lydmor.[13] In the article, she took aim at Ekstra Bladet writer Thomas Treo.[14] The article gained traction amongst Danish media outlets, leading to a television debate between Lydmor and Ekstra Bladet editor-in-chief Poul Madsen [da].[15] Her article discussed Treo's writing, which Lydmor described as "sexist" in the ways Treo described female artists.[15]

Lydmor's experience after writing the article carried to her next album, Capacity, released in 2021.[14][16] The album discusses the effects of speaking up about sexism, gender, and equality.[14] The album became the first of her albums to reach the Hitlisten charts, peaking at number 26.[17] Capacity went on to secure two awards at the 2022 Gaffa Awards, winning Danish Electronic Release of the Year and the HiFi Award.[18]
