Jen and Trés of Dutch Holly had been touring in support of their debut EP, What Rhymes With You? (2010) for nearly two years when they found themselves looking in a new direction. They were feeling increasingly constrained by the rigors of fronting and managing a 5 to 7 piece band. Then, unexpectedly, they were invited to perform at a music showcase as a duo, so they worked up a number of songs using an acoustic guitar, an electric guitar, a glockenspiel, a tambourine, and a looper. The set was electrifying, the crowd was floored, and their vision for Dutch Holly was forever changed. Immediately, they dissolved the band and set about the work of fleshing out this new, two-person sound. Energized and inspired, they began writing, rehearsing, and recording in their home studio. Months later, Dutch Holly re-emerged on stages all over Arizona as a two-person wall of sound. The result of those recording sessions would become their new EP, Outlaw. Dutch Holly’s sound is firmly rooted in the pair’s impeccable pop sensibilities. At times, it is plaintive and spare, and at others, sweeping and grandiose. Their harmonies ring out over carefully crafted soundscapes that tip a hat to 80’s new wave, 90’s alt-pop, and psychedelic indie-tronica of today. Their well-honed live act consistently wows music lovers all over their home state of Arizona, and with the release of Outlaw, they now turn their focus to wider audiences, festival stages, and regional tours.
