Martin Hagfors

The Arts Desk - vinyl 

  • Over in Norway Martin Hagfors is an icon of alternative folk singer-songwriting. His latest project is interpreting his songs with Scandinavian folk band Valkyrien Allstars and composer-singer Tuva Syversten. It’s called Folk-A-Dots and it’s on Diger Records. The vibe sits somewhere between the acid-laced output of certain early-Seventies singer-songwriters and the wave of indie-folk that rose around Bon Iver and the like. It’s a decent listen and comes in lyric inner sleeve.

Quotes by Martin

 


Ok my mind is made up, now I'll do my face

I'm so well off I don't want to be on anymore

It's now or never all over again

Keep biking, you ride and can't drive yourself crazy. Just a thought.

I've got the bucket in my line of sight but not quite dead yet

I have made up my mind and the my answer is maybe

Half the time I don't know what's going on, the rest is behind me

If you keep on looking back you'll lose sight of what's ahead

I can't remember signing up for today

The deeper the dirt the thicker the skin

Being five minutes late doesn't buy you time

I wish that was funny, I wish everything was funny

I had no idea I was using my brain

Being negative gives me great pleasure and makes me laugh

Before there were bridges, water still ran under them
