Retsin was an American indie rock band founded by Tara Jane O'Neil and Cynthia Nelson.
Retsin was founded in 1993 by O'Neil, who had played with Rodan, and Nelson, a member of Ruby Falls.
[1][2] The two continued to work with other groups (Nelson with Ruby Falls, O'Neil in the group The Sonora Pine) while they collaborated as Retsin, and their relationship became romantic as well as musical.
[3] Their debut appeared in 1995, after they had appeared in the film Half-Cocked; the pair toured extensively behind the album, sometimes adding a rhythm section in live shows.
Both O'Neil and Nelson joined Anna Padgett in Naysayer, recording two albums in 2001 and 2002.
