The Spiny Anteaters

A lo-fi/ psychedelic band from Ottawa, Canada. The quartet was made up of Cathy Cheshin on drums and vocals, Ray Bayliss on guitar and vocals, Marianne Heisz on bass guitar and vocals and Andrew Heisz on guitar and vocals. Putting together a basement studio, they released their debut album, All Is Well, in the fall of 1994. "The Spiny Anteaters play dense, slightly experimental pop music. The band combines droning rock music, spoken word and found sounds to create a swirling, hypnotic sound collage." Tom Heyman
