Artist Biography
Indie soft pop quartet Hoop initially began as a recording project by singer/songwriter Caitlin Roberts and multi-instrumentalist Nich Wilbur in Anacortes, Washington. During Roberts' eight-month tenure in the small Pacific Northwest town, she and Wilbur tracked the bulk of what would eventually become Hoop's debut LP, Super Genuine. The band's dreamy, sparse, and emotional alt-pop reflects wistfully on the area's grunge heyday while infusing a distinctively modern feminist bent. After Roberts moved back to Seattle, she enlisted bandmates Leena Joshi, Pamela Santiago, and Inge Chiles to complete Hoop's lineup. Featuring guest performances from Allyson Foster and Briana Marela, Super Genuine was released by Decency Den Records in early 2017. ~ Timothy Monger
