Background notes
Archive material and source history
The 6ths formed in Athens, Georgia in 1992 around Stephin Merritt, who wrote most of the songs and sang. Their first album, 'Wasp's Nest,' came out in 1995, followed by 'Hyacinths and Thistles' in 1998, which included the song 'Falling Out Of Love With You.'
Merritt's lyrics often dealt with love and its complications, delivered in a dry, wry tone over sparse arrangements. The band's sound was built on simple melodies and minimal instrumentation, a kind of quiet indie pop that felt both clever and a little sad.
They put out two more albums, 'Upside Down Frown' in 2001 and 'The Great Yes, No, Perhaps...Maybe' in 2003. Other songs like 'You You You You You' and 'As You Turn To Go' show the same mix of melodic hooks and lyrical precision.
