Adopted as Holograph are a Scottish band from Glasgow, Scotland. Blending alternative rock with continental jazz and Balkan music, their music frequently incorporates Gothic themes and has been described as Gypsy Jazz Noir.[1]

History

Adopted as Holograph was originally formed in 2009 by former Uncle John & Whitelock and Cannon guitarist, David Philp.[2] After touring with Isobel Campbell & Mark Lanegan in 2008, Philp enlisted Andrew Gifford (Fiddlers' Bid, Cannon) on double bass[3] and Tom Pettigrew (Cannon) on violin. The band gigged as a three piece for the next year before adding Hussy and the Wolf band members Caroline Hussey and Ryan Buchanan respectively on accordion and guitar, and Chris Houston on drums.[1]

The band's name is a term from Scots law concerning documents like wills (where "holograph" means signature).[4] The phrase was removed from legal usage in 1995 as part of a modernisation of archaic jargon.[5]

The band toured the UK festival circuit in 2011 and were featured in session on Mary Ann Kennedy's Global Gathering show on BBC Radio Scotland in April 2012.[1]

Influenced by Eastern European music, 1950s Rock and Roll and Gypsy Jazz, they have a style that has been described as Gypsy Jazz Noir[1] and as having a "vaguely eastern/klezmer-y feel",[6] and their music has drawn broad comparisons with The Doors, The Divine Comedy,[7] Tindersticks[6] and The Monochrome Set.[8]

Their eponymous debut album, Adopted as Holograph, was released in January 2013,[9] and received positive reviews.[8]
