Holton’s Opulent Oog ‘The Problem of knowledge’ is a beautifully realised album full of bright tunes, dark thoughts, happy days & long nights. It’s a minimalist creation built around the Spanish Guitar & Violin. Lots of space to puzzle & get lost in. You will find yourself tapping your toe to the mellow snarl of Tab, smiling through See You in La La, sighing along with Oaki Room, ducking as McCutcheon’s drums drives the upbeat patch work psychedilia of Fountain of Hate at you, before holding your breath at Pour it Out.

Holton’s Opulent Oog features Ian McCutcheon (Mojave3 & Loose Salute), Simon Rowe (Chapter House & Mojave3), Caroline Banks (Seafood & Caz Mechanic). Holton’s Opulent Oog recorded and produced the album for £100 in/on their own analogue studio, where Holton produced Sleeping on Roads by Neil Halstead in 2002 & more recently Caz Mechanic.

Quotes so far-

“The Problem Of Knowledge is minimalistic just above the extreme, built
around a violin and Spanish guitar and it absolutely brilliant. It
seems that alternative country is coming back into popularity, and it
seems that Holton’s Opulent Oog are going to be leading the way”
Bearded

“With a heart-stopping collection Holton’s Opulent Oog are also set to
make waves with an alt. country gem The Problem Of Knowledge.” Music
Week

“Perfect Winter listening through its sheer tenderness & sincerity.
Guitar picking loveliness. A work of love, unique.” Notion
