About Me


"Equal parts chiming power pop, heavy electric rock and ’60s-rooted psychedelia, Deleted Waveform Gatherings – the new project of Øyvind Holm, leader of Norway’s Dipsomaniacs – effortlessly meld their influences. On their debut album “Complicated View”, glorious anthemic pop recalling the heyday of Guided by Voices mingles with early ’70s-derived rock, whether searing, piano-driven or soulful. An inescapable presence in Holm’s portfolio, the shadow of the solo Fabs lurks, but never pounces. At times the band’s palette darkens for smoldering ’60s-inspired psych, and other times reaches outside these parameters for the funky and Beck-drenched or the elegant and classical. The power and contrast of these styles never overshadow the gorgeous melodies at the core of their sound. Layered vocal harmonies abound. At the heart of it all lie the lyrical visions that bubble forth from Holm’s subconscious; not afterthoughts but components of the songs’ very fabric." - by Amy Nyman
"BABY WARFARE"
OUT NOW!!

"Listen to the songs here and the grooves will explode immediately if this is going to be something that you will fall in love with - I'm betting that you will as this material is just flat-out classic! EXTREMELY HIGHLY RECOMMENDED! " - www.notlame.com
"It's a toss up, but there is definitely something here for everyone, and the quality tunes here make this an album worth getting." - Powerpopaholic
”[…] probably Øyvind Holm’s most accessible collection of tunes ever. It radiates courage and dignity to put focus on the tunes like Holm has done these last few years, and “Baby Warfare” is yet another strong release” - Adresseavisen
"This [Baby Warfare] is their second album, and again Holm delivers pop tunes that even at their weakest are good. At their best they are breathtaking” – Egon Holstad, Nordlys
”All in all, Baby Warfare is the best album in which Holm has ever been involved because the songwriting is richer and more melodic than ever before” – David Bash, SHINDIG
