Miranda Sex Garden are a band formed in London, UK, in 1989, currently on an extended hiatus. Originally a trio of madrigal singers comprising Kelly McCusker, Jocelyn West and main vocalist Katharine Blake. The first album, "Madra", was entirely a cappella, with the songs all based on English renaissance verse. For their second release, the mini album "Iris", the sound evolved into a blend of their madrigal-styled vocals with sounds reminiscent of gothic rock, darkwave and ethereal wave.
