The trio released their debut album Ice Cream Headache in 1993 on the Mint Tea label. Shortly after its release, English was replaced by Kelsey Kennedy. In late 1993, Radial Spangle signed to Beggars Banquet Records and released the "Birthday" EP, which included tracks from a session for John Peel's BBC Radio 1 show. Their second album, Syrup Macrame, followed in 1994. The band disbanded in 1996.
