West Indian Girl is a psychedelic rock band from Los Angeles, who released their self-titled debut album in August 2004 on Astralwerks.

The profound power to transcend common themes of fear, hope and love using only phrasing and imagery is a rare gift, second only to one’s ability to render out the proper combination of notes and chords with which to propel those words into our hearts. With influences that include British rock and roll and the soul-seeking ethos of 60s psychedelia and modern day jam bands, Robert James and Francis Ten build opulent compositions that revolve around texture, mood and lyrical romanticism-songs that are inspired by ideals and motivated by feeling, much like the two musicians themselves.

Much of their material is so shoegazer, it's a bit Jesus and Mary Chain for my taste. However, if you like electronic music, do have a listen through the remixes. If you like Robots in Disguise (well, their slower stuff!), you may very well like those.

OMG :O She's way too good for Trent Reznor. I had no idea they were together, I discovered them because I caught them like 3 years back in my hometown...hell yes High Sierra, thank you for your wonderfulness <3 Srsly though she could do better than Trent :\ WIG puts on a much better performance too, in my opinion.

I discovered WIG because they're good. Didn't have to use NIN to further my Indie cred.

As many of us I discovered this band through Trent Reznor and the fact that Mariqueen Maanding and him are engaged... and I'd have prefered to discover West Indian Girl only because their music is good. (-:

I'm checking out this band after learning about Trent's engagement. They're not really my cup of tea. Marrying Trent is good marketing for a band though. :)
