Mazzy Star
Mazzy Star make music that feels like a slow drift through a hot afternoon. David Roback's hazy, reverb-soaked guitar, steeped in psychedelia, blues and folk, sets the scene, and Hope Sandoval's hushed, languid voice floats over it all.
She Hangs Brightly introduced the sound, and So Tonight That I Might See gave them the unexpected hit 'Fade into You', a song that has never really gone away. Among My Swan followed, then a long silence until Seasons of Your Day in 2013. Roback died in 2020.
