Lately I've been super into female fronted alt rock bands like Mazzy Star, The Cranberries, The Sundays, Slowdive, Lush etc to name a few.
What are some more bands that have this same beautiful and sad 90's sound?
Courtney Laplante yeah, I'm a huge fan of Spiritbox but not quite the genre i was talking about
Belle & Sebastian have several songs where the female sings lead in that ethereal 90s way. Patty Griffin also has this vibe. As far as groups go, maybe Garbage, Hole, The Breeders, Veruca Salt, or The Cardigans? Also just adding a personal favorite: The Donnas (although they are definitely harder rocking). Bjork also has some great 90s stuff that’s sweet and melodic. Ok, sorry for the long list. I’m done!
Wolf Alice and Lana Del Rey are two of my favorites
Belly. Tanya Donnelly has a great voice. And was in The Breeders too.

Would "Skunk Anansie" fit into that category?
The Darling Buds

Wet Leg
Deep Sea Diver
If you like all of those artists then you’ll probably like this Ivy song:

Wild Colonials…start with This Misery. Old group.
The Civil Wars if you want newer. The One That Got Away is where I would start.
not bad! and yeah same category
ahhh yes i've yet to check them out. Been all over Slowdive and Beach house for years but never looked into MBV

def some potential there !
Been listening to Lana for a long time, Wolf Alice is interesting! Def more on the electronic spectrum not rock but still solid stuff. I liked Don't delete the kisses and Smile
How about The Sounds? Their first two albums are my favorite of theirs
YES! This is perfect
Cool! Glad you like it! I’m not sure if you’ve ever checked out that.dog before but they’re another cool female fronted 90s rock band. They don’t have that “ethereal” quality you’re looking for but they’re pretty dark & moody and would be worth checking out if you’re not familiar!
that's the sound i'm looking for yah!
This reminded me of Soccer Mommy and Snail Mail. Def alt rock vibes but more pop than rock
Which Belle and Sebastian songs?
Awesome. You’d probably like Fleming and John…Love Songs.
Also…might not be quite the same sound but 90s girl alt music starts and ends with Liz Phair at least in my opinion. Divorce Song, Fuck and Run, and Polyester Bride might work for you.
Is It Wicked Not To Care?
Lazy Line Painter Jane
Dress Up in You
Asleep On a Sunbeam
For the Price of a Cup of Tea
Waiting For the Moon To Rise
Women's Realm
Family Tree
Beyond the Sunrise
Reclaim the Night
These are the ones I could find. There may be more though. Honestly, I only remembered the first song and thought their vocals were mostly female driven, but it looks like they have a good amount of male vocal songs. A couple of these are duets. Hope you enjoy them.
And I would definitely look into Lana Del Rey if you haven’t (I think another poster mentioned her). Her voice is amazing.
Cocteau Twins match some of that ethereal sound you might be looking for. Nothing quite like the Sundays, though. So good.

try Eddie Brickle and the New Bohemians - their first album (Shooting Rubber Bands at the Stars) is very good (for me not a single filler) - well the mood of their songs is definitely different from the likes of Lush and Slowdive (or Cocteau Twins) but maybe you will like it (here's a sample: EB&NewBohemians
oh I forgot about Bel Canto - I really love some of their songs (like this one for example: Bel Canto - Shoulder to the Wheel)
Hana Vu is fire, u might like her
Slothrust? Idk. Ya might like it.
Love those guys..I thought they were a 4 peice, until I seen one of their videos. She's an awesome guitarist.
Silversun Pickups are a pretty good band
She's cool AF! ...and rips some great covers to.
PJ Harvey
Middle Kids
St Vincent
Also Alvvays
Fiona Apple, especially her album 'When the pawn...'
I have a Cocteau Twins tattoo - safe to say they're one of my favorites of all time, good recommendation though!
I've had the song "I've got a feeling" saved for awhile, makes sense their other stuff is good too
Cocteau Twins one of my favorite bands period, been digging into Mortal Coil as well!
Aren't they metal? Metal is the majority of what i listen to
ya if you like metal, I think you should give them a shot. They have some really cool shit
