{"product_id":"holm-oyvind-blue-is-the-colour-of-my-soul-light","title":"Holm, Oyvind - Blue Is the Colour of My Soul Light","description":"Oyvind Holm has long established himself as one of Norway's most prolific\nand distinctive songwriters -- through his work with Dipsomaniacs, Deleted\nWaveform Gatherings, and Sugarfoot, as well as a steady stream of\nacclaimed solo releases\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003ci\u003eBlue Is The Colour Of My Soul Light\u003c\/i\u003e marks Holm's fourth solo album since 2020, and\nfeatures ten new songs written in the wake of last year's Paradox Of Laughing.\nSonically, the record revisits the slightly rougher aesthetic that first captivated Holm in\nthe late '90s and early 2000s -- echoing the raw immediacy of bands like Guided By\nVoices -- while still carrying the unmistakable DNA of his own musical journey.\nLyrically, Holm ventures into more unsettled territory this time. \"It's been difficult not to\nlet reality seep more directly into my work,\" he admits. \"Blinders that thick simply don't\nexist.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nThough not a concept album in the traditional sense, \u003ci\u003eBlue Is The Colour Of My Soul Light\u003c\/i\u003e unfolds as a collection of fragments -- glimpses of reality with pieces missing. \"I\ncan only interpret what I see,\" Holm explains. Much like splashes of paint across a\nblank canvas, these songs create emotional impressions rather than tell complete\nstories. Perhaps this fragmented way of perceiving and processing the world feels\nnatural in an age shaped by reels and TikToks, where information and emotion flash\nby in seconds.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nThe tracks often trace the contours of a world reminiscent of an Orwellian reality,\nwhere truths are rewritten and history is distorted. Yet at times, hope and love break\nthrough--like glimpses of light in the dark.","brand":"Crispin Glover Records","offers":[{"title":"Clear with Black LP","offer_id":50859750129942,"sku":"RMX-59729","price":23.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0839\/7750\/2998\/files\/ed91265aef54f9c9de09dafd47285bb7.jpg?v=1765977763","url":"https:\/\/resident-music-uk.myshopify.com\/products\/holm-oyvind-blue-is-the-colour-of-my-soul-light","provider":"Resident Music UK","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
