They have been described as a lush, hypnotic blend of sounds reminiscent of Cocteau Twins, The Sundays and even Garbage.

Their self-titled 1995 début has been followed by two more studio albums. Each has introduced fresh new sounds and styling, something that has successfully kept them from being pigeon-holed in one genre.

Victoria Lloyd provides consistently powerful, but gentle and ethereal vocals, and haunting and enigmatic lyrics, Ben Fargen's clean and bright guitars, and Chris Ross's lush keyboards all give the band their own distinct and unique style. They are currently signed to Metropolis Records, and released their long-awaited fourth album, Lustre, in September of 2009.

The band seems to be on hiatus since July 2010.

Love Is Blind
Claire Voyant Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Here we are underneath a million stars
I want to believe that I'm in your mind
I want to believe your love is blind
Feelings can go away but
How do I know
Who's to blame?
The stars come out
When the dawn's asleep

And your heaven takes a hold of me
Why do we feel?
In between the blur
Is it real?
I want to believe that love is kind
I want to believe your love is blind
Feelings can go away but
How do I know
Who's to blame?
The stars come out
When the dawn's asleep
And your heaven takes a hold of me
You gotta believe in something
You gotta believe in something
Believe in me
Believe in me
Feelings can go away but
How do I know
Who's to blame?
The stars come out
When the dawn's asleep
And your heaven takes a hold of me

You gotta believe in something
You gotta believe in something.
