In November 1992, Strange Boutique began recording the Charm album, again for their own Bedazzled Records, and released it in February 1993. This album is the band's favorite; it finds SB in their most classic style.
"The Charm CD comes closest to capturing Strange Boutique's live sound. Lots of layered, textural guitar and lovely vocals over the melodic basslines and driving percussion. Nothing less than mesmerizing." - AS IF - 1993
The group flew to the West Coast in March of '93 for a double-bill tour with the immortal This Ascension, as well as a crowded show at San Francisco's House of Usher with Switchblade Symphony. Though quite unknown on the West Coast, SB charmed their California audiences, and returned home with a growing national fanbase.
