Martin Horntveth, the mastermind behind the beloved sounds of Jaga Jazzist and The National Bank, is diving into a fresh groove with his solo endeavor, Gouldian Finch. His first track out of the gate, “Like A Magnet,” pairs up with Marius D. Hagen of Team Me, adding a delightful layer to the chilled-out tune. If you’re into remixes, keep an ear out for spins by Burnt Friedman and a rework from Jamie Lidell on the album’s soulful track Gouldamadin.
While “Like a Magnet” gives us a nostalgic nudge to the laid-back house vibes of the 2000s, it’s Martin’s journey and broad-ranging influence in the music world that truly captivates. From his foundational role in JagaJazzist to his pop-forward sound with The National Bank, Horntveth’s fingerprints are all over the soundscape of modern music. He’s jammed with a galaxy of artists like DumdumBoys, deLillos, and Wizrd, and that’s just scratching the surface.
If you’ve tuned into TV series like “Himmelblå” or films such as “Do Not Split,” you’ve experienced Martin’s talent outside the traditional album format. His compositions have a unique way of setting the mood, telling a story, and invoking emotion.
Dipping his toes into the solo scene with Gouldian Finch, Martin Horntveth is reminding us of his timeless talent. We’re here for every moment.
