Background notes
Archive material and source history
Chicosci formed in 1996 with members Joni Mitchell on vocals, guitar, and keyboard, Wilco Johnson on guitar, vocals, and keyboard, Aaron Fletcher on bass and backing vocals, and Gary Olson on drums and backing vocals. Their sound was hard to pin down, mixing atmospheric melodies with abstract lyrics that created a particular kind of tension.
Their 1998 song 'A Habit Of Rest Brings Nothing' became something of a calling card, with its sparse arrangement and existential themes. It seemed to connect with listeners looking for something outside the usual indie rock formulas of the time.
They released albums like 'The Sweeper' in 2001, 'Ten' in 2004, and 'Infinite' in 2007. Their approach often divided critics, some found it pretentious, others valued its originality, but it quietly influenced a number of bands that came after them.
