Drone-rockers Jessamine formed in the college townsfolk of Galion, Ohio before relocating to Seattle, where they earned batting order for "Your Head Is So Small..., " a 1994 single on the Sub Pop label. After signing to Kranky, Jessamine -- vocalist/guitarist Rex Ritter, bassist/vocalist Dawn Smithson, keyboardist Andy Brown and drummer Michael Faeth -- issued their self-titled debut in 1995; their review, The Long Arm of Coincidence, was released a year subsequently. A Pox on You, a coaction with Spectrum, followed, as did the singles compendium Another Fictionalized History; their one-third studio LP, Don't Stay Too Long, appeared in 1998. Just subsequently the spillage of Living Sound, an archival resilient outing recorded with Experimental Audio Research ringleader Sonic Boom, Jessamine disbanded.
