Mazzy Star Artist Snapshot:

Founded in 1989 by singer Hope Sandoval and guitarist David Roback, formerly of the lauded Paisley Underground group the Rain Parade, Mazzy Star built on the earlier group's dark, psychedelic leanings but tempered the resultant moodiness with folk and blues elements. The California-based band's second album, SO TONIGHT THAT I MIGHT SEE, garnered Mazzy Star considerable attention, thanks to the spare college-rock hit "Fade Into You," which showcased Sandoval's beautifully sleepy vocals. After the subsequent outing, `96s AMONG MY SWAN, the ensemble went on extended hiatus, and Sandoval emerged with a few solo offerings, but the duo has never officially broken up, allowing for the possibility of new recordings.

Review

Alternative Press (11/93, p.77) - "...Most of the time you get what you'd expect: music that's part trippy and part blues..."
Magnet (p.68) - "The anti-social Roback and Sandoval may have sounded like they wanted to disappear, but the ghostly echo they created still haunts."
Musician (12/93, p.88) - "...there's roundabout satisfaction in hearing this moody duo firmly toe acoustic folk and dirty blues bases without losing their crucial abstraction...."
NME (Magazine) (12/25/93, p.67) - Ranked #44 in New Musical Express' list of `The Top 50 LPs Of 1993' - "...Inspired doomfolk caught in the slipstream of psychedelia, with Hope Sandoval creeping around the edge of confessions too creepy to confront...."
NME (Magazine) (10/2/93, p.33) - 8 - Excellent - "...an even more lustrous, becalmed work than its acclaimed sibbling...."

Title Note

Mazzy Star includes: Hope Sandoval (vocals); David Roback (guitar); Keith Mitchell, William Cooper, Jason Yates.

Combining the considerable talents of guitarist Dave Roback (Opal, Rain Parade) and Hope Sandoval's sultry, heavy-lidded vocals, Mazzy Star fuses blues, country, and pulsing acoustic folk in a dark psychedelic mix that recalls the Velvet Underground and The Doors. The group's highly textured, atmospheric sound emerged glittering and fully formed on the debut SHE HANGS BRIGHTLY, surprising listeners of "underground" music with its moody yet accessible mix.

SO TONIGHT THAT I MIGHT SEE sticks close to the ground staked out by its predecessor, though with no less success. "Wasted" moves insistently down the twelve-bar road to nuanced, snarling guitar embellishments. "Blue Light" is smoky, blue-eyed (if black-hearted) soul. Of particular note is the cover of Arthur Lee's "Five String Serenade," graced with lilting cello and tambourine accompaniment. Roback's electric/lysergic guitar explorations and Sandoval's blusey, lazily erotic sigh weave a deeply evocative spell, making SO TONIGHT a perfect 2:00AM album.
