Gainesville, Florida's delicate indie country-rock group
Holopaw features singer/songwriter/guitarist
John Orth, who worked with
Modest Mouse's
Isaac Brock on his side project
Ugly Casanova.
Brock brought
Orth's band to the attention of Sub Pop, who signed
Holopaw and released their self-titled debut in early 2003. Two years later, the band offered another collection of pretty, intimate songs,
Quit+/or Fight. Though the lineup fluctuated, in 2009 the band resurfaced with
Oh, Glory. Oh, Wilderness. and again in 2013 with the majestic
Academy Songs, Vol. 1, both led by
Orth and his increasingly ornamented songwriting. ~ Heather Phares
