holon The Time Is Always Now vinyl
The stunning debut from holon, produced by Rhys Marsh and featuring a dazzling array of Norwegian guest artists.
 
A solo project from singer, songwriter and guitarist Ronny Pedersen, the album was recorded at Autumnsongs in Trondheim, Norway. Guest musicians include Rhys Marsh, Lars Fredrik Froislie (Wobbler / White Willow), Silje Leirvik, and Ketil Vestrum Einarsen (Jaga Jazzist / Kaukasus).
 
The Time Is Always Now contains a collection of songs Pedersen wrote over the course of the last decade. 
 
The, often epic,  songs on show the influence of a wide variety of genres including acoustic folk and the sophisticated side of 1960's pop, with meticulously crafted writing at its core. The songs tell the story of an individual's philosophical, spiritual and evolutionary journey towards finding their place and purpose in this world and at this particular time and are largely based on Pedersen's personal experiences (and his attraction towards the Buddhist worldview).
