Magnet releases his new single Fall At Your Feet, taken from his recent highly acclaimed album The Tourniquet on 5th December 2005 on Atlantic Records.
Fall at Your Feet is indicative of Magnet aka Even Johansens dynamic and individual sound - introspective intimacy and anthemic without losing any of the feeling behind the songs, or as Even puts it "Some old ideas are the foundations of Fall At Your Feet, maybe its the last airing of my indie Magnet legs, but a song of which Im very pleased. Its nice to throw in some melodies and a sprinkle of an old fashioned love song for good measure." Magnet is an artist who defies genres, picking up rave notices in the dance world as well as in the mainstream rock and pop press.
Already huge in Norway, Magnet is currently on tour as special guests to Athlete, following a successful tour with The Engineers. These shows follow a sold-out show at 93 Feet East in August. Evens music has also soundtracked the likes of the OC, Six Feet Under and his wonderful cover of Dylans Lay Lady Lay on which he performed with Gemma Hayes which was featured documenting the love sceneon the Brad Pitt/Angelina Jolie film Mr & Mrs Smith.
