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, Rovi
