the main songwriter joined connan mockasin for the completely incredible 'please turn me into the snat/forever dolphin love' album. then left connan mockasin who subsequently put out a lamentable record last year. absolutely no idea on the others

That explains so much about Connan Mockasin

that album last year was so pathetic, and after such a truly classic record

I know this is going to sound uncharitable, but they're one of those bands I'm *so glad* never put out a followup. After the amount of hype, and the impossibility of sustaining it, and how many brilliant bands get savaged for failing to reach the giddy heights of their debut - I just think it's so much better that they put out one such perfect record, and then disappeared. It's just a fantastic artefact of a moment. I don't want to know what happened next.
