Sixpence None the Richer — Music Videos

Sixpence None the Richer is an American band formed in Texas around singer Leigh Nash and guitarist and songwriter Matt Slocum. Their music combines melodic alternative pop, chiming guitars, and an intimate vocal presence. Nash’s light, distinctive phrasing gives the group an immediately recognizable sound.

Their self-titled 1997 album includes “Kiss Me,” which brought the band to an international audience. Their interpretations of The La’s “There She Goes” and Crowded House’s “Don’t Dream It’s Over” reveal a related affection for direct melodies and carefully balanced arrangements.

Beneath the apparent simplicity are small instrumental details: a change in guitar texture, an answering phrase, or a harmony arriving at the end of a line. Their recordings make a useful bridge between understated indie pop and the more familiar sound of late-1990s radio.
