Apart from Mr. Even Granas on the drums, Oyvind Holm played nearly all instruments on "The Vanishing Act". A few guest musicians were brought in on a couple of tracks, but mainly "The Vanishing Act" is a solo album in every sense of the word.

If you've heard of Oyvind Holm before, you'd probably know him as the singer and songwriter of the Norwegian psych-pop band The Dipsomaniacs.
After writing and recording six albums with The Dipsomaniacs, Holm released his first solo album, "The Vanishing Act", in February 2005. The album was released on his own Cutwater Records in Norway, and will get a worldwide release on the Australian Camera Obscura Records in July.
Some of the nice things said about "THE VANISHING ACT":
"Holm has produced possibly his strongest collection of music, and that says a lot." 5/6 Adresseavisen, Trondheim(Norway)
"Øyvind Holm, plain and simple, is one of the best pop craftsmen we have in Norway, and it is about time that more people discover his absurdly
large talent", 5/6 Nordlys, Tromso (Norway)
"This is an album I know Ill keep returning to on a regular basis.
" Broken Face (http://thebrokenface.blogspot.com)
*Terrascope Online Reviews (UK): "imagine if Lennon took some time out
after Rubber Soul to test the solo waters and youd have an inkling
of the aural treats that await you"
* High Bias (US): "On The Vanishing Act Holm tones down the trippy
experimentalism and highlights his genius for instantly memorable
melodies. Topping off his performances with a John Lennonesque
voice, Holm casually tosses off gem after gem"
* Psychotropic Zone (Finland): "On this album Holm has polished to
brilliance his ability to write great pop songs"
* Dream Magazine (US): "If you've heard any of the Dipsomaniacs albums
you have a good idea of what to expect here; though it's likely
this is his most mature, and fully realized set of songs yet. "
* Foxy Digitalis (US):"Every song here provides a worthy antidote for the
coming cold season, literally and metaphorically. Any real fan of melodic
folk and psych pop should dig." 8/10
* Fake Jazz (US): "Having absorbed the perfect harmonies and tight song constructions of the Fab Four, the keen satiric eye and acerbic wit of Ray Davies, Elvis Costello and XTC, the sly self-deprecation of Matthew Sweet, and the wistful insight of Karl Wallinger's World Party, Holm balances all of these elements with a fondness for reviving and updating the aesthetic inclusiveness of psychedelic pop. The resulting concoctions have both an easily digestible sheen and deep flavors that linger." 10/12
* Aural Innovation (US): "A big part of the magic lies in the combination of
otherworldly songwriting, impeccable 60's styled vocals and detailed attention to production. I don't see George Martin's name in the credits but I half expected to"

Hi, I have a couple of new songs from my upcoming release Disarm & Let Go! Please pop by and check it out...! THANKS! -ropo PS! THE ALBUM WILL BE OUT ON AUGUST 24!
Our new album "Herbarium" is
out now on CdBaby (MP3 so far, physical CD is on its way).
Diverse palette of styles (post-rock,
ambient, electronica, trip-hop, with elements of noise, dub,
neoclassic and free improvisation), united by cinematic, slightly
pensive mood.
«Herbarium» is called so
because of heterogeneity of «songs», which can be
compared to miscellaneous leaves in the album, still being belonged
to the family of trees. Trying to avoid non-alive metaphors here,
only thought of diversity and warm and innermost feeling that
herbarium is capable to conjure up. «... This leaf I picked up
in the park where I met her, and this - I sat by the river,
contemplating...». So tracks were created – one was captured
in some magic jam, another – recorded layer by layer and
meticulously mixed then, next – cut from previous sessions and so
on.
All compositions are united by Poostosh
sense of music – mostly pensive, spatial, tender and experimental.
There's a lot of soul and charisma in every leaf... So please let
your soul look over our HERBARIUM.
