The enigmatic noise pop outfit Comet formed in early 1994 in Mesquite, TX. Brought together by a common love of the Beatles, singer/guitarist Jim Stone, his bassist-brother Neil, guitarist Daniel Huffman, and percussionist Josh entered the studio later that year to cut their debut single "Portrait," produced by Mercury Rev alum David Baker. A deal with the Dedicated label followed, and with Baker again at the helm, Comet recorded their LP bow Chandelier Musings, issued in late 1996.
