A power pop “Supergroup” formed in the late 1990s. Members include Dan Bejar (of Destroyer), Neko Case, A.C. Newman, John Collins, Kurt Dahle, Blaine Thurier, Kathryn Calder, and Todd Fancey.

By their own admission, their cryptic lyrical diction is based on the acoustic rather than the cohesive, resulting in songs that focus on tones and moods.
