Magnet equals one Even Johansen of Bergen, Norway, an alluring young
troubadour whose gift has made him the premier endeavor of Filter US
Recordings.
His music simultaneously follows in the footsteps of traditional
folkdom and
modern surrealism, treading a neat path between the two. Johansen draws
upon
a vast array of influences, from the dusty warmth of Gram Parsons to
the
ethereal electronica of Air, tenderly etching out the mark that is his
own
unique sound. NME has likened Magnet to artists Tim Buckley and
Coldplay,
and others have placed him in the ranks of such names as Johnny Cash,
Elliott Smith, Beck, and the Doves. Indeed, these comparisons have not
been
made in vain.
Debut album in stores 9/28 on Filter US Recordings
