moi Caprice is an indie rock band from Denmark. Current members are Michael Møller, David Brunsgaard, Casper Henning Hansen, Jacob Funch and Fridolin Nordsø. The band, formed as early as 1993 as Concrete Puppet Frog, rose to visibility in 1997 as the first unsigned band to top the Danish alternative music charts, despite the lack of a released studio album.[1] The band has remained active, releasing five albums beginning in 2003, and touring internationally, including performances in Canada[2] and Vietnam.[3] After their fourth studio album, We Had Faces Then released in 2008, the band members drifted apart.[4] After a twelve year hiatus the band re-emerged with their fifth studio album, Becoming Visible in 2020, and has since released multiple EPs and singles. Their last studio album, Nine Lives, released in 2022.

Their third album, The Art of Kissing Properly (2006), earned them four Critics Award nominations and two nominations for Danish Music Awards,[5] [6] and they won the prize for best band at the Danish critics award, Steppeulven.[7]
