Sugardrive was one of South Africa's more exciting new acts of the late 1990s. Their oddly-titled
When I Died I Was Elvis earned them huge popularity at home, even if it didn't introduce them to the rest of the world. This album was full of slickly-produced '90s alternative pop, at times sounding not unlike the Underground Lovers or
Jeff Buckley, but incorporating the same type of samples and loops that
Garbage and
Portishead used to great effect.
