Free Music Notes for Quit +/or Fight
Free Music Review: A barely good indie rock album which doesn't seem to try hard enough - still a satisfying album - good background music
Hit: 4 Stars
Holopaw's "Quit +/or Fight" doesn't seem like it's trying all that hard. You can tell the band has potential and that if they put in a little more energy that the album would've been pretty good. Like John Orth perfectly depicts, however, the band seems "timid" (Orth sings in a timid voice). Lyrically you can't really tell what he's saying, and musically it's pretty standard stuff. Thankfully all of the songs are decent, which helps things. The reason I'm giving this "4" stars instead of "3" is that it makes some pretty good background or relaxing music. None of the songs "wow" you, though. Indie rock fans might like this I suppose. Slightly recommended.
Highlights include:
the entire album is pretty decent
Quit +/or Fight Poster
Gainesville, Florida's Holopaw (named after a Florida town none of them are from) rise to more textural, delicate artistic heights on this follow-up to their 2003 Sub pop self-titled debut. Each dynamic track tells its tale through sweet, understated and complexly orchestrated melody that engages as it soothes. Thick with strings, winds, drunken bossanova percussion, stomping, handclaps, wine bottles, synths, and thrift store furniture-as-instruments, the album shows a band unafraid of brash creativity and improv instrumentation. Holopaw has toured extensively with label-mates Iron And Wine and Fruit Bats.Alternative Rock Music CDs
