A 1990s Athens band that built psychedelic pop around Robert Schneider's vision.
For a quick sense of their sound, try 'If You Want To Wear a Hat' or 'Stream Running Over'. They're both good examples of that jangly, hazy pop thing they did so well.
They arrived in the early 1990s with a sound that felt both familiar and slightly askew, pulling from 1960s pop and psychedelic rock but filtering it through their own hazy lens. Songs like 'If You Want To Wear a Hat' and 'Stream Running Over' show how they could wrap simple, catchy melodies in layers of jangly guitars and dreamlike textures. That steady interest in layered arrangements and slightly off-kilter pop gave them a distinct place in the indie landscape.
They formed in Athens, Georgia in the early 1990s and released their first album 'Fun Trick Noisemaker' in 1995. The lineup shifted over time, but Robert Schneider remained the consistent presence through records like 'Tone Soul Evolution', 'Her Wallpaper Reverie', and later albums such as 'New Magnetic Wonder' in 2007.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
