Surrealist folk outfit Magnet is mainly driven by singer-songwriter Even Johansen of Bergen, Norway. He merges ethereal melodies and soaring vocals with programmed beats and unusual instrumentation to create a warm, swirling, welcoming pop sound.
Austin, TX — Johansen grew up in the wake of his father's musical career, and gravitated toward writing and performing from an early age. After moving to Scotland, he began to pursue a musical career with more focus. Under the name Magnet, he released the critically acclaimed "On Your Side" in September of 2004, following up with this year's "The Tourniquet" in February.
Songs performed: "Where Happiness Lives," "I'll Come Along," "My Darling Curse. "
