Led by ex-Camper Van Beethoven multi-instrumentalist Jonathan Segel, the free-form underground rock unit Hieronymus Firebrain was an extension of Segel's 1989 solo LP Storytelling, comprising many of the same musicians who played on the album. After issuing a self-titled 1991 debut record on the Delta label, however, Hieronymus Firebrain's roster underwent a series of fluctuations which left Segel as the sole remaining original member; a new lineup released the 1994 LPs There and Here before disbanding. Segel and drummer Russ Blackmar soon reunited in the trio Jack & Jill. ~ Jason Ankeny
