Similar to the lush sounds of Mazzy Star and This Mortal Coil, the ethereal darkwave duo Faith & Disease formed the year punk broke (1991) and maintained a solid stance of sold synth-beats and gossamer lyrics in the face of Seattle counterparts Mudhoney, Soundgarden, and Nirvana.
Bassist Eric Cooley and vocalist Dara Rosenwasser released the "Jardeau Blue" single in 1993, and with friend David Goebel, Faith & Disease formed their own label Ivy Records. They released five albums (Beauty and Bitterness (1993), Fortune His Sleep (1995), Live Songs: Third Body (1996), Insularia (1998), and Lamentations: A Collection (1999) under Ivy, but signed with Projekt at the close of the '90s to issue Beneath the Trees in fall 2000. Two years later, Cooley and Rosenwasser hooked up with ambient electronic guru Jeff Greinke for the lush, poetic Dream the Red Clouds EP. ~ MacKenzie Wilson
