<p>Mazzy Star is a U.S. band known for their unique blend of folk, country, and psychedelic rock. Formed in 1990 by David Roback and Hope Sandoval, they were part of the Paisley Underground movement based in Santa Monica, California. Originally called Opal, they changed their name to Mazzy Star and released their debut album featuring the re-recorded song "Ghost Highway." Although they never officially split up, the band took a long hiatus from 1997 to 2013. Sadly, Mazzy Star effectively ended after the passing of David Roback in February 2020.</p>

back in stock. '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. 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.
