Girlfriend was a rare girls’ group from Australia.

Luscious Jackson – Naked Eye

A fresh breeze that swept through New York’s music scene.

The gem of a single Luscious Jackson released in October 1996 is a superb work that exquisitely fuses alternative rock with funk and trip-hop.

Centered on a theme of candid, sincere self-expression, Jill Cunniff’s emotionally rich vocals resonate deeply.

With Daniel Lanois—known as U2’s producer—at the helm, this release draws out the band’s full appeal and reached No.

36 on the U.S.

Billboard charts.

The music video, which drew attention on MTV, was shot at New York’s World Trade Center and artfully recreates a 1960s airport.

It’s a jewel of the ’90s that pairs perfectly with a quiet night drive or a moment of self-reflection.

Field Of Flowers

A track distinguished by delicate acoustic guitar tones and refreshingly clear vocals.

Opening Sixpence None the Richer’s debut album, The Fatherless and the Widow, this song—released in April 1994—can be seen as a work that marks their origins.

Its poetic imagery likening happy moments with a loved one to a flower field is captivating, and it skillfully blends elements of alternative rock and folk-pop.

Packed with the musical vision the Texas-born band showcased in their early days, the piece was performed at the Cornerstone Festival and won over many fans.

Recommended for those seeking a peaceful listening experience or a hidden gem from ’90s alternative.
