Nina Gordon and Louise Post
Not really obscure, but just as much so as many already posted.

Check out Veruca Salt's 2nd album 8 Arms to Hold You. It was produced by Bob Rock. It is excellent & much heavier than the first album American Thighs.

Went looking for Camera Obscura, but discovered they were not 90s.

At the risk of offending the obscurity police, this band and its singer wre pretty obscure when I listened to them back in the 90s

The Cardigans - Iron Man

A rare vocal from drummer Janet Weiss on this Quasi's sophomore record... She's probably better know as the long time drummer for Sleater-Kinney... still kicking it with Quasi though..

While she doesn't contribute any vocals, I have to give a shout out to Laura Ballance.. bass player for Superchunk and co-founder/owner of one of the most influential indie rock record labels from the 90s (and beyond)

Christina Martinez on vox and the incomparable Hollis Queens on drums...

Not to mention, anything Jon Spencer was involved in rocked!
