Having first guested on Hawkwind’s 2017 album Into The Woods, Magnus Martin has gone on to become a key member of the band as both a player and songwriter, helping to diversify the space rockers’ sound. In parallel he’s continued to play and record with Tarantism, the band he formed with his wife, Mel Rogers, in 1993, and is a regular presence on the underground festival circuit.
After much encouragement from Dave Brock, he’s released his debut solo album Everything Is Singing To Me. Recorded and produced with his son Silas, and featuring every member of Hawkwind, it’s a kaleidoscopic journey through Martin’s musical landscape, from the grungy alt pop of the album’s title track and its dub reggae-infused reprise, to the full-on prog odyssey of its second half, a suite of songs retelling the Greek myth of Ceyx and Alcyone.
