After playing in Toronto's nightclubs for over five years, singer/songwriter Meryn Cadell recorded a somewhat self-titled independent cassette, Mare-In Ka-Dell. Capitol signed her and released her debut, Angel Food for Thought, in 1991. "The Sweater" was a national hit, but not until 1992; it hit big in American college rock even later. Bombazine followed in 1993. ~ John Bush
