One of the early-'90s most promising groups, Ireland's Glee Club only ever made one full album, but that was enough to win it deserved attention. The band itself grew out of a three-piece outfit called the Swinging Swine, which toured its home country quite a bit, gaining a grassroots following as they went. Vocalist/lyricist Joanne Loughman and guitarist/violinist Hugh O'Carroll, however, found themselves constrained by the overt classic rock/folk fixation of the group's music, finding their own equally important loves of groups such as My Bloody Valentine and Cocteau Twins compromised. After the Swinging Swine split, the two began a musical partnership in earnest, occasionally helped by guitarist Kevin Boyle, who would later contribute in studio to other recordings.
