I believe I listened to his album frequently when it came out. I only recognize the singles here though.
It’s hard to listen to because she’s not singing; she’s venting. Sounds crazy & snotty.

At the first listen I thought, Ideal beach music listen!
I googled up. Nope, they are indie Liverpoolians. Very nice yet not very memorable. I probably won’t relisten. Their earlier album, Water Pistol has a higher AllMusic rating.
Shack doesn’t seem to have any further releases since 2006.

Elliott Smith
1996 happened when I was there but had largely retreated from life—for unfulfilling connection & romance.
So I missed later Soundgarden & Elliot Smith.
I’m not overwhelmed by Elliot Smith. Introspective with a whispery voice. May listen again, dunno. The only one’s the really rested on me was the Tom Waits. What does that say about me?
