Breathless and torn - the Mazzy Star/Hope Sandoval thread

[Iholdthepain]

This stuff was the soundtrack to my comedowns in the 1990's...

She plays the xylophone, harmonica, and sings in a way that is so comforting, and that echo chamber and shoegaze guitar wall of sound is like you can just sink into it...

Another round for old time's sake, if only I could still get my hands on some opiates.

Joey, when you listen to swan the first time, definitely do it with headphones

Like I said on the page before, that's what I did and it was quite the revelation. Just excellent.

Going through SoTonight That I Might See right now...such a complex and rich album. Hope´s voice is surreal here...and the arrangements? My god.

[William Bloke]

I can't get enough of Cry, Cry. I just love the guitar run throughout it, both left and right channels independent of each other, but somehow intertwined, with Hope's lazy (but lovely) loping voice carrying over the top. So good.

I ordered She Hangs Brightly on vinyl just now because this thread reminded me I should have that

[E.H. Ruddock]

I just ordered the Ghost Highway cd that is recordings of two different live sessions from back in 1994. I've heard it before and it is great. When I get the disc I'll rip it and share it with you guys

I think the Mazzy Star instagram account just liked a post of mine from last night. Is that a big deal or not?

Somewhere there's a PR company intern who really connected with your post.
