Hope and Adams, the 1999 follow-up to Wheat's Medeiros, put the Taunton, Massachusetts, band in the hands of producer Dave Fridmann, and it's a hushed, woozy indie rock record that sounds as if it was cut inside a snow globe. The band had come together in 1996 around Scott Levesque on vocals and guitar, Brendan Harney on drums, Ricky Brennan Jr. on guitar and Kenny Madaras on bass.
"Don't I Hold You" is the song that got out into the wider world, a small, aching tune that radio kept spinning into 2001. Per Second, Per Second, Per Second... Every Second came next.
