Led by the vocals and guitar of Andy Yorke (brother of Radiohead's Thom) , their name comes from the cult Hal Hartley film whose downbeat intensity and dark humour perfectly reflects the band's brooding nature.

Hybrid elements of Talk Talk, Peter Gabriel, Throwing Muses and Elvis Costello were noticed in their sound and in '96 they signed to Virgin records.
They achieved two top twenty hits with the singles 'Higher Than Reason' and 'Solved' and the album 'Almost Here' also broke the top twenty.
The band have now returned to the Oxford label 'Shifty Disco' to release their new album 'sorrythankyou' from which the single 'landslide' will be taken.
The album captures an incredible range and depth of emotions and exudes redemption, twisted spirit and defiance.
Sadly the band split late 2000 ...
