"Getting Over Being Under" produced by Pritpal Soor (Anna Calvi).is the follow up to the critically acclaimed 'Tuned To Love', The Loose Salute are back with an album of splendid, rueful charm - a triumph of heart and soul. The music is still wearing it's bubblegum heart on its sleeve but it's bruised, tougher, wiser.

"The aural equivalent of icy cider on a hot day" 8/10 NME

Holton's Opulent Oog
Love In The Mist by Holton's Opulent Oog is out Vinyl (with 16 page book & limited to 250 world wide), CD and DL.
HERE IS SOME OF WHAT HAS BEEN SAID OF THE NEW ALBUM:-
"The dreamy, lo-fi minimalism of 2008’s well received The Problem Of Knowledge is very much back with a vengeance." DROWNED IN SOUND
"Love In The Mist seems to transport its audience to a much more pleasant time in their lives. Their debut album received critical acclaim by many leading publications and it is after hearing this record that you can see why they have their plaudits. Awesome." 4/5 Russell Hill MAVERICK
"HOO have a storytelling ability that not many possess and the lyrics to match." THE SKINNY
"LOVE IN THE MIST is quintessentially English. Assisted by various Slowdive/ Mojave 3 alumni, Holton's sleepy voice & ramshackle songs ooze a skewed charm that evokes late-'60s pastoral psyck-folk. And the unexpected touches - add to a quietly, quirkily brilliant set." 4/5 Nigel Williamson UNCUT
"A woozy, downbeat, oddly heartening curiosity from the songwriter. Holton's Opulent Oog specialises in the kind of gentle melancholy that can be comforting, even uplifting." Will Hodgekinson MOJO
