Hetch Hetchy (band)
''Hetch Hetchy'' was an American post-punk band formed in Athens, Georgia. Lynda Stipe, sometimes credited as Lynda L. Limner, was the only consistent member of the group until they permanently disbanded.

After the release of ''Make Djibouti'' most of the original players left the band, leaving Stipe as the only remaining group member.

In contrast to the group's previous release, ''Swollen'' drew inspiration from gothic rock, dream pop and British folk music, garnering them comparisons to Cocteau Twins and Hugo Largo.

Invented by Lou Ottens and his team at the Dutch company Philips, the Compact Cassette was released in August 1963.
