Martin Lönegren – When Listeners Asked for More

Martin Lönegren –  originally created a 20-second intro for the podcast Entre Tinieblas Nórdicas. After listeners reached out asking for more, he expanded it with several verses into a full two-minute piece.

”Entre Tinieblas Nórdicas” is the official theme for a Swedish Spanish-language true crime podcast about Nordic murder cases and mysteries. With over 100,000 listens in its first year and a 4.9/5 Spotify rating, the podcast has built a strong audience. The track is dark, cinematic and atmospheric, inspired by Scandinavian noir, with sparse acoustic elements and haunting textures that create a tense, storytelling mood.

Martin about the story behind the song:

”This track began as a brief 20-second intro for the podcast Entre Tinieblas Nórdicas. But after listeners reached out, wanting more, I expanded it with a few verses to create a full two-minute piece.

It was a true challenge for me as a songwriter, having to construct a cold, dark, murderous Nordic world in just two minutes, rather than drawing from personal experience, which is usually my source of inspiration.

I can almost imagine it fitting perfectly if Halloween fell in February here in Sweden.. What do you think?”
