It took a while, a whopping 15 years between Blind On a Galloping Horse and David Holmes' previous album
The Holy Pictures (2008). In the meantime, Holmes has not been idle. The musician, DJ and producer has created film scores and produced albums for artists such as
Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds, among others. He wrote, produced and arranged his seventh album entirely by himself. The sound
… can be described as a psychedelic cocktail of trip-hop, ambient and krautrock, within which the Irishman reflects on social themes such as the refugee crisis, war and his own mental health. The 10-minute opening track is already a listening experience in itself, and as the album progresses, Holmes enchants and intrigues with his mind-blowing music. (JvQ)more
