The Familiar

Starry Eyes

Above the Arctic Circle during Norway’s season of darkness (aka “mørketiden”), a chance encounter between an American and a Norwegian spawned a transatlantic musical labor of love called The Familiar. Working together exclusively via email and texts, the duo of native New Yorker Ruth Mirsky (ex The Drums) and producer Mads Martinsen, who was born and bred in Tromsø, Norway, is the northern lights meeting the skyscrapers of New York. Their sound, hailed as “seductive synthpop" by The Guardian, has evolved over the past few years with 2 independently released EPs, numerous syncs including an HP/Virgin Racing commercial and the trailer theme music for the TV show "Unge Lovende" (NRK, Norway), as well as several music videos.

The Familiar is working on a new EP and plan on touring Norway for the first time in 2019.

Stuck Together

The Familiar is the alternative electronic duo of Ruth Mirsky and Mads Martinsen. The Familiar's music is the conjuring of strangers--polar opposites who find inspiration in the uncanny darkness of winters with no sun and the unyielding lightness of summers with no night. "Dark Eyes" is the debut single off of The Familiar's upcoming album.
