Mazzy Star

It's great to discover stuff that you didn't get around to hearing the first time - Mazzy Star are yet another reason that backs up my thesis that the 1990s were the best decade for music.

Mazzy Star were amazing.

But I also loved this little gem that Hope did with The Jesus and Mary Chain:

One of my favorite bands! I mentioned in the favorite voice thread that Hope Sandoval has one of the best singing voices I've heard. I just downloaded her new CD, and it classic Hope all the way.

Here's some of my favorite Mazzy Star songs:

YouTube - Into Dust, Mazzy Star


YouTube - Mazzy Star - Fade Into You (Black White Version)


YouTube - Mazzy Star - Ghost Highway (live)

i've got a lot of friends
and they've got beautiful eyes
that make my heart feel surprised
and you notice it
and that's the truth
that's the truth

YouTube - Asleep From Day - Chemical Brothers & Hope Sandoval

One of my favourite bands. Hope's voice is otherworldly.

 

[Bunbury]

ahhh high school...thats all I can think of when Mazzy Star is mentioned. They had some good tunes.

 

[MissVelvetDress_75]

I only know Fade Into You. I suppose I should have made better effort to learn more about their other songs.

 

[If you shout...]

Asobi Seksu covered "Suzanne," on their new mini-LP, Rewolf. Just saying.

Bingo what you said here. I have to agree with the 90's music, and listening to Mazzy Star is like floating away without a care in the world. Kind of like the 90's was, at times, come to think of it. There certainly was a different soul in music back then. At least till the end of that decade when rap metal and boy bands killed off soul, taste, and (musically speaking) hope.

I won't confine my tastes to one decade though, because it sort of goes from 80's new wave to 90's alternative or whatever and thats what does it for me. I like some of the new "alternative" stuff you might hear on XM, but it hasn't taken me to the same places that the older stuff has. I don't have the appropriate flashbacks yet....wondering what that will be like if it happens?

 

[yertle-the-turtle]

Surely don't stay long
I'm missing you now.
It's like I told you
I'm over you somehow
Before I close the door
I need to hear you say goodbye
Baby won't you change your mind?

I'm probably late to the party but Mazzy Star have reformed.

Two new tracks at Mazzy Star Boulevard - www.mazzystar.nu

 

[LemonMelon]

They're playing Coachella, I think. I don't really know, but it's a safe bet since everyone else is.

So Tonight That I Might See is a killer album.

 

[Jive Turkey]

She still hot?

Mazzy Star featured heavily in the soundtrack to an Ed Norton film of some years ago called Down in the Valley; that might have inspired my interest a tad.

I found there were two sides to their music. One side wasn't all that interesting; the other was something rather special.

And yeah, the nineties seem better in retrospect.
