Though they've been around for a few years now, this London-based quartet appeared quite suddenly on a U.K. scene already crowded with young upstart guitar-based bands declaring a mutual love for canyon rock, space rock, and solid '70s-era singer/songwriter balladry (others include fellow Brits <a href="spotify:artist:3D7ENEgB9uIGox2uZTSL2R">Delta</a>, <a href="spotify:artist:4jSYHcSo85heWskYvAULio">Mojave 3</a>, Four Storeys, Goldrush (formerly Whispering Bob), and Scottish guitar-rock bands like <a href="spotify:artist:2Sp19cOHSqAUlE64hekARW">Teenage Fanclub</a> and fellow labelmates the Cosmic Rough Riders). Their lineup features former members of <a href="spotify:artist:4LpILxfR9oVEein0gvoGMH">Scala</a>, <a href="spotify:artist:0jyH4jtanxaysaxwDVhR6f">Seefeel</a>, and Jupiter, an Australian shoegazer band. Their first full-length album, I Heard Myself in You, was produced by the band and Mads Bjerke, who (as of early 2001) has also been co-producing tracks by <a href="spotify:artist:6DKmuXxXASTF6xaJwcTfjv">Spiritualized</a>. ~ Bryan Thomas, Rovi
