New Album Coming Out December 2 November 21, 2011
Magnet's new album, Ferrofluid, is coming out next Friday, December 2, in Norway. It's available for pre-order at cdon.no (Rest-of-Europe site: cdon.eu) on CD (149 kr) and vinyl (199 kr). Platekompaniet also lists a deluxe CD (299 kr) version. Here's the tracklisting:
- Doldrum Days
- Sister Sorrow
- Bad Blood
- Stay - with Hilde Marie Kjersem
- Homecoming Queen
- Fireflies
- Pussyfoot
- Nemesis
- Together
- Reprizer
You can listen to the album's first single, "Doldrum Days," on Myspace and Spotify (and buy it on iTunes). You can listen to the album's second single, "Stay" (a Shakespeare's Sister cover) on Soundcloud.
As for what the heck ferrofluid is, Wikipedia says it's "a liquid which becomes strongly magnetized in the presence of a magnetic field." It can do cool shizz like this.
There's a new official Magnet website in the works, finally! Still under construction, but here you go: magnetmusic.no. Also check out the official Facebook and Myspace pages for new stuff. (I'll try to keep this site updated, but I unfortunately don't have as much extra time as I did when I first started this fansite a decade ago.)
Performance at the World Ski Championship Feb 22, 2011
Got some exciting news from Magnet's manager: GOOD STUFF IS HAPPENING.
More specifically, Magnet will be releasing new music soon! ...Okay, that's not very specific. More specific is that he'll be performing "The Day We Left Town" in University Square in Oslo as part of the FIS Nordic World Ski Championship this Thursday, the 24th. If you live in Norway you can watch it live on NRK2 at 19:00.
Magnet is doing stuff! Whoa! August 4, 2010
After a few years of nothingness, I got a message from the folks of his management company BpopMentometer to say that Magnet is doing stuff! I mean, related to music. Presumably he's doing stuff all the time. Here's the message:
Magnet is currently in his studio in Bergen, where he is finishing his new record with a bunch of great Norwegian musicians. We have heard the first song, and really looking forward to the rest!
Even has spent the last year learning how to ride his horse, and feeding his goats. His growing commitment for a better environment has taken a lot of time, but he has also found the time to produce albums for several Norwegian artists, such as Lene Marlin and Amina. He has also found a lot of inspiration for his new album.
Stay tuned to soon get pictures from Magnet’s Devil-island, the studio, and of course: music.
Why isn't this homeofmagnet.com? 2010
Message from your friendly webmaster: This is the same website that used to be at homeofmagnet.com. When that URL unexpectedly expired and was bought by another company, I moved the site to evenmagnet.net because, damn, I didn't build this website for nothing.
I have no idea what's going on in Magnet-land, but if anything happens I'll update this page.
