Biography

Active in the 1990s and early 2000s, these Modesto, California natives specialized in alternative rock that was paradoxically electronic and futuristic while remaining strangely organic and rustic. Their farmhand look indicated that they lean towards the latter, but their knack for computer-based sounds, particularly on their acclaimed SOPHTWARE SLUMP, revealed that they drew as much influence from Radiohead as from Neil Young. Led by singer-songwriter Jason Lytle, the band built a large fan base through endless touring and consistently engaging albums.
