Flaming Lips, Daft Punk, Mårten Lärka

The french pop fanzine, VF Pop, recently published an issue of their magazine with focus on french pop music. In one of the articles, by the french artist Pierre Chandeze, Mårten Lärka suddenly shows up.

Pierre Chandeze explains: ”I wanted to draw Mårten Lärka because he’s not french but sing in french, then I thought of the song ”Robot” then thought of the Flaming Lips song about pink robots, then about Daft Punk 😂”

The New Year’s Chronicle 2022

2022 was a horrible year to the world, even worse then the previous two. But on a personal level; in the name of making art, music, joy, love and freedom, it was terrific in many ways. The 20th anniversary, for celebrating my two decades as a solo act, at Hembygdsgården in Jättendal, was un unforgettable evening to be Mårten Lärka. With a great little help from my friends we suddenly hit the road again.
Several recordings finally saw their releases during the year. Not to forget mentioning the music video “Robot 22”, after five years in the vault.
I started mixing in a completely new music studio as well. I also commenced a collaboration with another music label, for the first time.
I aim to make 2023 the best I can for being something similar. It is no secret that the tape recorder is repaired and we are currently working again, with the recordings that stopped in April 2021.

All the best to all of you and a very Happy New Year!

TRASIGA PEPPARKAKSHJÄRTAN

It’s this time of a year again. Trasiga pepparkakshjärtan has been added on several alternative Christmas song lists. In 2016 we arranged a Christmas calendar celebrating ten years since the track was released. One act per date did their own version of the song, from the 1st to the 24th of December, to be posted on Mårten Lärkas social media channels.

Now we are planning to do that again for next season. So feel free to give us your contribution in time for December the 1st 2023.

From all of use to all of you a Happy New Year and best wishes!
