Damon and Naomi - More Sad Hits

The first track on Damon and Naomi's first album, More Sad Hits from 1992. It reaffirms what we learned from their Galaxie 500 days, namely, that it is possible to make absolutely gorgeous music even if your singer hasn't got a note in their head.

Uncle Wiggly - Hope So, Hope Soon

Uncle Wiggly were an interesting band. Though firmly rooted in the US indie-rock scene whence they came, they had more of an indiepop sensibility than a lot of those bands. I have a sneaking suspicion they had a few Flying Nun records at home.

I saw them live once and one of them was wearing checkerboard trousers. Funny the things that stick with you.

This is from their debut album Across The Room and Into Your Lap.
