UK composer and multi-instrumentalist John Holden is back with exciting news for his fans. He has announced the upcoming release of his fifth album, “Proximity & Chance,” with a brand new song titled 13. The album serves as a follow-up to his 2022 release “Kintsugi.”

Holden delves into the concept of proximity and its significance in the flourishing of life on Earth in this new album. He reflects on human inheritance and evolution, marveling at the idea that we all share this planet under the same sun. The album is a contemplative journey into our connection with the universe and the mysteries it holds.

The inspiration behind the track “13” comes from the ‘Thirteen Club,’ formed in 1880 to challenge the superstition surrounding the number 13. Holden explains how the club aimed to debunk the notion of ’13 at a table’ being unlucky. With captivating storytelling, he delves into the history and rituals of the club, shedding light on its unique and rebellious gatherings.

True to his signature style, Holden has brought together a stellar lineup of musicians for this project. With vocalists Sally Minnear and Peter Jones, keyboardist Vikram Shankar, guitarist Luke Machin, and flautist John Hackett on board, the album promises a rich and diverse musical experience.

Holden’s creative vision for “Proximity & Chance” includes seamlessly blending orchestral elements with a rock format, pushing the boundaries of traditional progressive music. He aims to captivate listeners with a mix of orchestral grandeur and rock energy, creating a dynamic and engaging listening experience.
