Reminding one of the famous David Bowie lines “homo sapiens have outgrown their use”, Marthe Halvorsen’s latest single “For The Dreamers & the Bold” goes on to say that humans “don’t make sense anymore.” In so many ways both of these lines are right but both of them exist within the confines of a medium that humans not only continue to expand on but also continue to unravel the secrets of, in the process possibly putting a crack in each line’s login in the end. Either way, the Montreal-based, Norwegian artist and composer somehow manages to fill a whole lot of space with a minimalistic arrangement on this indie folk arrangement which is also the title track off the upcoming full-length album due out in the Spring of 2023.
 “I wanted this song to feel like a warm blanket of hope in what sometimes feels like a crazy world. Sonically I wanted the music to reflect upon the lyrics of the song, representing both the dreamy and the bold at the same time. I wanted it to feel like a counterpoint to a world that is running very fast and to give space for contemplation. There is a certain innocence to the song, while at the same time it is reflecting upon some very serious matters. I really like how the double bass and the drums give that grounding feeling to the song, while the more dreamy aspect of the electric guitars lies floating on the top of that. Sort of like the idea that any thought or intention also needs substance and action to actually make something happen and mean something in the real world,” says Halvorson.
