Mazzy Star Crooner Readies Return With Hope Sandoval and the Warm Inventions

7/6/09


In 1993, Mazzy Stars Hope Sandoval released the dream-pop gem Fade Into You, a dusty, lilting ballad that served as the soundtrack to make-out sessions for Converse-clad alterna-dorks everywhere. The notoriously reclusive Californian hasnt cracked the mainstream since, opting to release a few records here and there with various projects.

But theres good news: Sandoval is back. With her band Hope Sandoval and the Warm Inventions (which features My Bloody Valentine drummer Colm Ó Cíosóig), Sandoval is gearing up to release her second record since the acts 2001 debut Bavarian Fruit Bread. The new disc Through the Devil Softly — out September 15th — is a lovely, 11-track collection of narcotic, folk tunes centered by Sandovals breathy, irresistible seductive croon. So what took so long? I dont really notice the time, says Sandoval coyly. We dont keep track of the days and months. And the years.

Sandoval and Ó Cíosóig cut the disc with their crack band over the last few years in Northern California and the countryside of Wicklow County, Ireland, which no doubt helped imbue tunes like the winsome Wild Roses with a loose, pastoral vibe. It was really nice to go there, says Ó Cíosóig. Its pretty remote. There was nothing but cows next door, a lake and a little pub down the road.

Highlights from the record include the haunting, blues-esque opener Blanchard and the spare piano-and-acoustic-guitar ballad Bluebird, where Sandovals heavily echoed vocals come up so close, its as if shes whispering in your ear. Is that the devil in your sky? she asks. Is that whats glowing in your eyes? (Hear Blanchard here:)


Sandoval is notoriously terrified about performing in public. But shes willing to hit the road with her band for some intimate club shows this fall (dates will be announced in the coming weeks). I enjoy singing with a band playing behind me, she says, its just that the audience is nerve wracking — even if its just 400 or 500 people.

As for Mazzy Star, Sandoval confirms her and her bandmate David Roback havent called it quits and they are still working on their anticipated fourth album. But she declines to give many specifics. Its true were still together, she says. Were almost finished [with the record]. But I have no idea what that means.

I think what helps give her voice a dreamy, moody, slightly otherworldly, psychedelic effect, is a subtle electronic echo effect she uses both in the studio & on stage. She`s already blessed with a beautifully emotive, sensual voice,but that slight echo adds a bit of extra magic & helps transport the listener to a pleasant other-world with Hope! I could happily live in that astral world!

i was gonna write something clerly witty and angst ridden about my feelings on her music compared to whats out now or how drugs(especially LSD) make this song a totally different level of existence or how i personally feel when the hair on the back of my head curls up under the warmth of her voice, but then i read the highest rated comments and just took a cool breath
