History

The EP Make Djibouti was issued through Texas Hotel in 1988 and was produced by Lynda's brother Michael Stipe, the lead singer of the band R.E.M.[1] After the release of Make Djibouti most of the original players left the band, leaving Stipe as the only remaining group member. Bassist and vocalist Jay Totty, who had recently moved from Athens to Florida, saw Stipe performing with her band Cowface and was impressed. They formed a new incarnation of Hetch Hetchy and released Swollen in 1990, with Tim Sommer and Hahn Rowe producing.[2] In contrast to the group's previous release, Swollen drew inspiration from gothic rock, dream pop and British folk music, garnering them comparisons to Cocteau Twins and Hugo Largo.[3]
