Sivert Martin : the blog

Joy and Pain, Black and White. Soccer or Football. The essences of life. That's probably the theme for my first EP ever (except for that one which I released years ago, the one that I never talk about). Or maybe it's not the theme for the EP. Who the fuck knows? Listen for yourself and make up your mind. I am not gonna make up your mind for you. I am an artist, not a politician. I don't pretend to know what I am talking about. Anyway, great thanks to my friends Michael Mühl and Thomas Hoel for their contributions to the album. Michael for his picturesque capture of me in front of a tagged wall in the troubled city of Belfast and Thomas for his amazing bassline on In My Own Mind, a bassline I had no idea of how to solve on my own, but man did he nail it!

My music though, will be available in a service that, for now, is accessible to everyone: Spotify. It will also be found on iTunes, Bugs, Amazon, Google, Anghami, Deezer, Claro-musica, Juke, iHeartRadio, Pandora, 7Digital, okay, we get it! Everyone wants to make money on music! God damn, what a jungle! Thanks to an easy company like Rout...
