  • Mental Overdrive releases new album, Epilogue, on Prins Thomas's label image
  • Per Martinsen, AKA Mental Overdrive, has released his second album of 2017. Though it comes hot on the heels of this year's Hardware LP, Epilogue was actually in the works for much longer. Martinsen sent tracks to Rett I Fletta boss Prins Thomas over an extended period of time, offering Thomas the stems so he could alter, arrange and add production elements to the tracks to his liking. "All tracks were done in my studio here in Tromsø," says Martinsen in a press release. "Some in the dark period and some with the midnight sun shining through the windows. There's a lot of contrast in my surroundings here so maybe those contrasts will surface in the work I do." Martinsen has been a fixture of the Norwegian electronic scene for decades, alongside other pioneers like Bjørn Torske and Biosphere. Last year, Rett I Fletta reissued his 1995 debut album Plugged.
