Artist: Radial Spangle
Radial Spangle is an eclectic trio from Oklahoma City. The group's first album, 1993's Ice Cream Headache, has a cavernous, echoing sound filled with plinking guitars and feedback over which the vocals of Alan Laird and April Tippens hover. 1994's Syrup Macrame shows a vast improvement, mixing loud, abrasive "city songs" with loopy, gentle...

His competition at the time, the much better... [+] Read More
Artist: Dave Fridmann
Branching out from his early days with neo-psych eccentrics Mercury Rev, Dave Fridmann developed into one of indie rock's premier producers in the late '90s. Fridmann's trademark sound was lush, spacious, and shimmering, equally capable of turning gentle pop songs or walls of guitar noise into dreamy, trippy miniature symphonies. Making his name...
