i am a giant fan of hope sandoval and the warm inventions and even more of mazzy star. so it was with great pleasure and anticipation that i read today that hope has a new inventions CD dropping sep 29th (the first in 8 years ?) and there is a new mazzy star album almost finished too. to make things even better the goddess of all things dreamy , shoegazey and sublime is playing a small venue in atlanta in october. joy ! she may be coming to your town too.2 tracks are previewed on her myspace.

The album has been on the music download blogs for several weeks. It's lovely.

I agree Nibbler, it's a lovely album. Enjoy the Atlanta show Iggyziggy - I'm seeing her at the Southbank Centre in November. Seated, right up the back, but looking forward to it.

I saw Mazzy Star live once. Every song sounded the same, with the same sad tempo and the same sad lyrics. Can anyone comment?

You've got a point but if you happen to like the same sad tempo and sad lyrics, they could be the perfect band.

they are the perfect band....i go back to the music again and again......they have never followed fads so it never dates. i love sad music nick drake , scott walker , berlin....

for pointing me in the direction of Hope Sandoval & Mazzy Star. Never heard of them until your post. Bought, So Tonight That I Might See and am blown away! Fantastic stuff. . .

all her albums are great ... the solo one too (with a geezer from my bloody valentine). have fun exploring them all.
