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.

Someday
Claire Voyant Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Taking in the rhythm of the world
Let your mind tell you the words
Stay within the river I have loved
With my own sense of good
And I write you once or twice
With an eye like a firefly
Taste the cooler water
Breathe the air

Let in your want of life and air
We will take on any problem in the world
If our own are understood
And I write you in more than blood
And I hope that you see

I know that someday
In your eyes I see someday
In your words I am reminded
In your eyes I see someday

we will pray through all the weather
To tame the world for all life knows good
I will save you from the wicked
I will take the world in my arms
My own sense of the word
And I write you only lies
Can you see they are my disguise

I know that someday
In your eyes I see someday

In your words I am reminded
In your eyes I see someday
