Joydrop...

Hi all,
Our local radio station keeps playing a song called "Sometimes Wanna Die" by a band called Joydrop. Does anyone know anything about it/them? It sounds l like catchy nu-breed, but with a female lead vocalist. I only found a listing for one album ("Metasexual"), but it doesn't seem to contain this track.
Btw, after spinning the Stabbing Westward s/t album a few more times, it occurred to me that, for anyone considering purchasing this gem but holding out for a comparison, I'd say that it sounds a fair bit like what Savage Garden would sound like if they (pardon the expression) grew some balls. It's not exactly what I'd call heavy, and the ballad "I Remember" could easily have been lifted off of either Savage Garden album (it is sooooooooooo gorgeous!), but it's definitely edgier than S.G. And the vocalists, IMO, sound very similar. Yep, this Christopher Hall guy can really *SING!* Highly recommended, indeed!
Cheers,
Don
