Sykes earned a BFA in photography from Rhode Island School of Design.

1990

Sykes moved to Seattle in 1990 after a brief stint in New York City.

Sykes says that among her more memorable experiences in the '90s was meeting songwriter Townes van Zandt after a Seattle show.

The band was signed to Barsuk Records in 2003 after Chris Walla of Death Cab For Cutie, also a Barsuk band, heard the debut album Reckless Burning and brought it to the attention of label head Josh Rosenfeld.

The same year the band signed with Paris-based label Fargo.

2004

Their follow-up album, Oh, My Girl was recognized by music critic Jon Pareles of the New York Times on his end of the year list of "2004 albums that deserve notice before turning the calendar page" and was featured on NPR's All Things Considered.

The Seattle Times said "Rolling Stone magazine called Sykes' brooding, emotionally-raw album "quiet marvels of lamentation," and Oh, My Girl made a handful of Top 10 of 2004 lists."

According to the Miami New Times, "At this time the band spent the majority of time on the road, mostly in Europe where The Sweet Hereafter received its earliest accolades."

The band played the Roskilde musical festival in Denmark in 2004.

After the release of their third album, Like, Love, Lust and the Open Halls of the Soul, which the Dallas Observer called "her first masterpiece" and CMJ said "a significant step forward for Sykes as a torchbearer of masterful mourning."

The band then toured with Sparklehorse.

The New York Times reviewed the show at New York City's Webster Hall, saying "in some ways Ms. Sykes could be a female counterpoint to Mr. Linkous" in an article titled "Everything Crumbles Toward Eternities".

Sparklehorse was dropped from its label during the tour with the Sweet Hereafter, which Sykes described as a "bomb dropped on the Sparklehorse camp—most critically on Mark Linkous" in an article for the Seattle Weekly she authored describing her experience touring with Mark Linkous.
