The name is unfamiliar (and let's face it, absolutely ridiculous) but in the States they have notched up Grammy nominations and hit singles to beat the band. Of course, the fact that they have received such plaudits is no indication of quality. In fact, Sixpence None The Richer come across as an indie version of The Corrs, complete with titles like 'We Have Forgotten' and Andrea Corr-style vocals from Leigh Nash.

Putting aside such uncanny similarities, the strongest cut here is 'Kiss Me', a whimsical sugar-coated pop song that celebrates the initial flowerings of romance. 'I Can't Catch You' tries to walk on the darker side of love street but falls flat - there is no gear-change in tone or mood. 'The Lines Of My Earth' nearly gets it right with funereal pianos and the most impressive vocal performance on the record, but it still sounds forced and formulaic.

SNTR round it off with a cover of The La's 'There She Goes'. In the spirit of a good cover version, they succeed in turning the song into their own but it sounds slightly surreal as a sugared-up girlie pop song, and you wonder whether they realised it's a comment on the horrors of skag. I don't think you'd catch The Corrs doing a rendition of 'Brown Sugar'.
