Free Music Notes for She Hangs Brightly/So Tonight That I Might See
Free Music Review: Mazzy Five Star
Hit: 5 Stars
Mazzy Star were basically a duo of guitarist David Roback and singer Hope Sandoval. This set features the groups first 2 CD's "She Hangs Brightly" (1990), and "So Tonight That I Might See" (1993).
This is such a great set, apparently it just became available over the summer, I have all 3 Mazzy Star CD's along with a solo Hope Sandoval CD, so I'm a huge fan of the vocalist and her style, very laid back, folksy, part goth, almost a lazy feel to her vocals; great for late night listening under a full moon perhaps or any day you wanna relax a bit and enjoy some great music.
Hard for me to pick favs, as each song seems to offer something new. I like every song on both CD's basically. "Fade Into You" is probably the most recognizeable song on the set, but there are so many others like "Blue Flower", "Ride It On", from the debut; and "Five String Serenade", "Mary Of Silence", "Blue Light", and "She's My Baby" on the second CD that are perhaps favs. Both CD's have a very psychedelic, folksy sound like said, but to me they were pure early 90's alternative, like stuff you would hear in a dark club late at night along with the other alternative type/goth stuff of the days.
Very atmospheric, slow, sometimes disconnected songs that always have a way of letting you in and wanting to hear another. A Song like "She Hangs Brightly" is a great example of that I think, at nearly 6:30 in length, it manages to keep a gothic, dark resonance to it that sometimes makes you wish the jam could go on and on. It's followed by "Sailin", which shifts to an old fashioned bluesy feel, like something Janis Joplin might have belted out, but Sandoval just glides it along so effortlessly, it just feels like your traveling somewhere.
