Quiet & Still is Magnet's debut album, first released in Norway on 10 October 2000 after the dissolution of his previous band Libido. In the US, the album was released on 15 May 2001 under his birth name, Even Johansen, and featured his picture on the album cover (whereas the Norwegian release featured a logo). The album features early versions of "Where Happiness Lives" and "Nothing Hurts Now", which he would re-record for the follow-up album On Your Side. It also features a cover of Thin Lizzy's "Dancing in the Moonlight (It's Caught Me in Its Spotlight)", written by Phil Lynott.

AllMusic's Stanton Swihart awarded Quiet & Still four-and-a-half out of five stars, and praised the album as "a resplendent oasis, catatonic in the most stunning of ways, and like all such phenomena, there is something both uplifting and sorrowful about it, as if the music is both ephemeral and timeless."[1]
