Formed in Champaign-Urbana, Illinois, Absinthe Blind was composed of Guitarist/vocalist Adam Fein, guitarist keyboardist Tristan Wright, bassist Mike Zolfo, and drummer Seth Fein. Unsurprisingly considering that Wright spent much of his childhood in England, the band's neo-psychedelic pop is drawn from mostly British sources, such as Radiohead, the Verve, the Stone Roses, and Mv Bloody Valentine, as well as Syd Barrettera Pink Floyd. Absinthe Blind's initial album, When Our Flashes Sway , was issued in 1997 by Hammerhead; it was followed a year later by solarshift .
