... I never thought that some of my weird musical tastes from the 90s would wind up being linked on the internet.

I never heard of them before, but they sound pretty good. What do you know about them?

They’re more shoegaze than anything else, especially in their later albums, but they had a couple of heavier songs like this one early on. They opened for The Cure on the Wish tour in ‘92. I think the singers weird toddler-sounding voice put a lot of people off and they pretty much disappeared by the mid-2000s.

I saw them twice in the 90s. They were a pretty cool live act; very down to earth - I remember a few of the band members hanging out behind the theater after a show smoking cigarettes with the fans.

Yeah, I see references to that on their Wikipedia page:

One reviewer described the band: "Imagine a small child singing lullabies at the bottom of the well with a background of grinding guitars"

I see that as an absolute win!

That’s a perfect description. If you want to check them out, the Wings Of Joy album is a good place to start. Or the EP collection. Their late 90s and 2000s stuff isn’t really to my liking, though.

Thanks for the recommendations!
