Their 1993 debut album, Everybody Else Is Doing It, So Why Can't We?, became an international success propelled by singles "Dreams" and "Linger." The band recorded six albums across two decades, most recently with their 2012 LP Roses.

Most recently she fronted the super group D.A.R.K. with Ole Koretsky and The Smiths' Andy Rourke, releasing their album Science Agreein 2016.
