There are 3 artists with this name:
1) Magnet, a.k.a Even Johansen (http://www.evenmagnet.net), hails from Askøy, Norway. His warm, melancholic songwriting draws on a range of influences from folk to country and the atmospheric electronica of Air. He has released four albums - Quiet and Still, On Your Side, The Tourniquet and The Simple Life - but is probably best known for his rendition of Bob Dylan’s Lay Lady Lay (with Gemma Hayes as guest vocalist), featured on the soundtrack of the movie Mr. and Mrs. Smith.
Before going solo, Even was the lead guitarist of Norwegian indie rock band Chocolate Overdose (for the albums Everybody Likes Chocolate and Sugar Baby), and later, the lead singer of Norwegian indie rock band Libido, releasing one album, Killing Some Dead Time.
According to him, his first solo album, Quiet and Still, was a collection of songs written during the Libido period, deemed unfitting for the band.
He started using the alias Magnet before releasing his second album, On Your Side, in 2003.
In 2006, he contributed a new track, Be With You, (and three old ones, namely
My Darling Curse, The Pacemaker, and Nothing Hurts Now) on an extended play CD for the game Dreamfall: The Longest Journey.
Even is currently working on an album to be released in 2010.

2) Magnet were a band formed for the purpose of recording the soundtrack to the 1973 film The Wicker Man. The band were assembled by musician Gary Carpenter (the film’s Associate Musical Director) to perform songs composed by New York songwriter Paul Giovanni.

I have the album, an actual copy :) Does anyone know what Even has been up to, or if he is still making music at all? I miss his music.

To other fans, he played in a band called Libido earlier, they had one hit in the UK, "here she comes". But their only album has a truly great song called "revolving", almost Magnet class. It's available on spotify.

hollgam: similar to the dreamfall soundtrack? all songs except for "be with you" can be found on tourniquet and on your side, so basically there's a lot of similar material ;P but yeah, a new album would be sweet! :)
