American duo formed in 1982, consisting of poet/vocalist Lydia Tomkiw and composer/musician Don Hedeker, known for sparse, atmospheric dark-wave combining spoken-sung vocals with electronics and guitars.

Reviews describe Lydia Tomkiw's vocals likened to Nico/Siouxsie and note a blend of dark wave, new wave, no wave and shoegaze elements; releases reviewed receive mixed (around 3/5) appraisals.

Algebra Suicide is presented in DeBaser reviews as a duo formed in 1982 combining Lydia Tomkiw's poet-vocals and Don Hedeker's atmospheric electronics and guitars. The Secret Like Crazy is described as hypnotic and melodic but at times repetitive. True Romance at the Worlds Fair is noted as a short, atmospheric four-track sketch of delicate dark-pop. Reviews rate releases around the middling (3/5).

For:Fans of dark wave, post-punk and experimental 1980s music; collectors of obscure indie releases.

 They call them “Meteors” (cue the theme song: “There’s a starman waiting in the sky...”).
