I think they sounded a lot more like MBV than Sonic Youth. Lots of slow tremelo effected riffs, steady beats, and melodic vocals often mixed low. Generally less abrasive and/or off-kilter than even the smoothest Sonic Youth songs. Of course, I didn't think about these distinctions in the early 90s.

Their Brokedick Car EP is my favorite of their work.
