Sivert Høyem

Høyem reaching ever higher

Sivert Høyem, who just released his new album, should be a familiar name to most people. Even now, after Madrugada, he's one of the truly great artists in music-Norway. Since the Madrugada-debut Industrial Silence, released in 2009, he's released no less than 10 albums. The latest one to date, titled Endless Love, was released early March and has, not surprisingly I might add, received multiple 5-out-of-6-scores in the national press.

Endless Love is one of Høyem's strongest aIbums if we are to believe Dagbladets Torgrim Øyre: "Clearly some of the best material Sivert has lent his voice to, both as a solo-artist and as the frontman of Madrugada."

Or to quote Aftenposten: "The mix is perfect and the production manages to incorporate the more noisy elements without crowding the sound. With this [album] Sivert Høyem not only solidifies his own position, but only expands his repertoire with one of this years most solid albums."

Høyem brings an extraordinary all-star team to Romsdalsmuseet:
Sivert Høyem on vocals, Cato Thomassen on guitar and organ, Christer Knutsen on keys, Børge Fjordheim on drums, Pelle Ossler on guitar, Ulf Rockis Ivarsson on bass, and Rikke Normann and Marianne Pentha on backup vocals.
