Felt

Very strange band from the 1980's. Helmed by recluse Lawrence Hayward, they released a lot of albums in a relatively short period of time. Most of the songwriting credits go to Lawrence and Maurice Deebank, the lead guitarist. Their music is alternately silly and strangely appealing. While apparently they had some sort of cult following, none of said following has tried to copy their sound; on first listening the harmonies seem completely awkward, although it makes kinda more sense the third or fourth time around. Not well-remembered by today's indie kids, but nevertheless deserves a listen, if only as a curiosity...
