It would be easy to suggest that Orange's "Feijoa" sounds a lot like the Cocteau Twins. Hmm. That WAS easy. My laziness aside, the song has a lovely post-coital winter-through-the-windowpane to it. Does it? Hmm. Maybe it does. This is anudderone from the Tangible Box Set released in 1993.

This song is absolutely amazing, I've been listening to it nonstop for the past hour or so.
I can't find any information about the band on the internet, though. Could you give me a little more information about them?
Glad you like the song, Chris. I'm afraid I don't know much of anything about the band. The "Brian Jonestown Blotter" newsletter included with the box set includes only two sentences about them:
"The sound of Orange is a melodic deamscape in which the rich evocative tone-poems of singer Sonja float like renegage weather balloons. Orange's sound is distinctive, combining darkly romantic vocals and swirling guitars to create a liquis hallucinatory effect."
They seem to have released an album as well, but I can't find out anything beyond the cover and song list, see here:
