USA - 1990
Dream Pop, Paisley Underground, Psychedelic Folk
Opening their first album with one of their most beautiful track, Mazzy Star directly introduce us to their new world where influences from the 1960’s, 1970’s and 1980’s all intertwine to create the sound of the 1990’s.
Because you chose simplicity doesn’t mean you are undermining your talent. Less complex than their sophomore album, She Hangs Brightly is an act of birth. Romantic or trippy, the songs unveil their melodies right off the bat, focusing on missing lovers and disappointed relationships. What we often forget is that dream pop doesn’t have to carry obscure lyrics. Here, Hope Sandoval reveals how annoyed she can be because of men’s behaviour. There is no glamour, but nonchalance and an appetite for freedom, whether it’s for Hope Sandoval’s lyrics or David Roback’s compositions. Carefree, mellow and breathtaking.
