Holly Golightly

Yes, her namesake is a character in a Truman Capote novel, and yes, she sang a duet with The White Stripes on Elephant. But there’s a lot more to Holly Golightly than those two overexposed facts, stretching back to the early ’90s and the all-girl garage outfit Thee Headcoatees. Also ignored by those career bullet points: Her three albums with longtime collaborator Lawyer Dave (as Holly Golightly And The Brokeoffs), the most recent of which, Medicine County, finds Southern gothic sounds rapidly insinuating itself among Golightly's usual mix of dollar-bin sultriness. The swampy mystery of lead single "Forget It" shows that, after more than a decade, there's still much that we don't know about Golightly.
