Martin Horntveth, best known from Jaga Jazzist and The National Bank, finally announces his first solo project under the alter ego Gouldian Finch. "I actually started working on this album back in 1996. You could say I've spent 20 years figuring out which direction I wanted to take. But when the pieces finally fell into place and I wanted to include a bit of 'my whole self,' everything suddenly became very clear," he says. Martin Horntveth is known as one of the founders of the internationally acclaimed band Jaga Jazzist and the pop success The National Bank. In addition, he has produced music for Dumdum Boys, deLillos, Malin Pettersen, Jim Stärk, and Wizrd, to name a few. Furthermore, he boasts an impressive resume as a composer and music producer for TV series (Himmelblå, Estonia, Mammon, Twin) and films (For Vi Er Gutta, Oscar-nominated, Do Not Split). His very first solo album is expected in the fall of 2023.
