Oyvind Holm has long established himself as one of Norway's most prolific and distinctive songwriters -- through his work with Dipsomaniacs, Deleted Waveform Gatherings, and Sugarfoot, as well as a steady stream of acclaimed solo releases.

Blue Is The Color Of My Soul Light marks Holm's fourth solo album since 2020, and features ten new songs written in the wake of last year's Paradox Of Laughing. Sonically, the record revisits the slightly rougher aesthetic that first captivated Holm in the late '90s and early 2000s -- echoing the raw immediacy of bands like Guided By Voices -- while still carrying the unmistakable DNA of his own musical journey. Lyrically, Holm ventures into more unsettled territory this time. "It's been difficult not to let reality seep more directly into my work," he admits. "Blinders that thick simply don't exist."

Though not a concept album in the traditional sense, Blue Is The Color Of My Soul Light unfolds as a collection of fragments -- glimpses of reality with pieces missing. "I can only interpret what I see," Holm explains. Much like splashes of paint across a blank canvas, these songs create emotional impressions rather than tell complete stories. Perhaps this fragmented way of perceiving and processing the world feels natural in an age shaped by reels and TikToks, where information and emotion flash by in seconds.

The tracks often trace the contours of a world reminiscent of an Orwellian reality, where truths are rewritten and history is distorted. Yet at times, hope and love break through--like glimpses of light in the dark.
