Thollem will tour HPOH in Europe this spring, the U.S. in the summer and onwards from there.
“Thollem’s music, a seamless mix of the blues, jazz, protest music, punk rock, and now pop,
knot together philosophical koans about the nature of existence.”
– Iggy Pot, LiveEye TV
“With Thollem everything is always on the table.
HPOH sees him turning singer/songwriter in the broadest sense of the term.”
– Brad Rose, Foxy Digitalis
“A forward vocal delivery that comes a-swingin’ right out of the gate.”
– Tiny Mix Tapes
Coming Soon!!!
‘Oligarch Super Villains’
“Equally at home in the worlds of jazz, punk, noise and modern classical.” – Gabe Vodicka, Athens Flagpole
“This album is DOPE. For a bit I even forgot what I was listening to in the van. I thought it was KAOS radio. ‘I want to meet this DJ.’ Not at all what I expected (except I guess I was expecting the unexpected).”
– Markly Morrison, Low Profile Podcast
“Thollem might be a musician, or he might be some kind of wizard scientist…” – The Denver Westword
“An intense and virtuosic keyboardist” – TimeOut, New York
In the rockin’ world Thollem has performed and recorded with members of Deerhoof, The Minutemen, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Half Japanese, Wilco, Unwound, Old Time Relijun, Cibo Matto, The Stooges, Jealousy Party, Stars Like Fleas, Tenderizor, A Love Electric,
