Band ID

Late 90s US light hip hop act with two or three rappers and a female vocalist who did the choruses and was a bit on the chunky side. A little like a less high energy BEP, maybe. Had one reasonably sized UK hit which was slightly wistful and spooky sounding.

Not much to go on, sorry. This is bugging me.

I think you're thinking of Spooks, they had a hit with Things I've Seen and then another one called Karma Hotel, both were a bit wistful and eerie-sounding.

Yep, those guys. Thanks.

Early to mid 2000s female-fronted lo-fi indie band. Had maybe only 2 or 3 albums. She almost sounds a little bit like Mark E Smith and the production kind of reminds me of Youthmovies. Maybe she has red hair? Or there is red on the cover... I think they are quite acclaimed for one album.

Anyone?

If it helps, inspired by me playing Hood's 'The Lost You' at tt

but not Hood obv lol

Oh, it was Life Without Buildings! Just the one album. My description may not have been entirely accurate...
