Friday mp3: Mazzy Star

Mazzy Star formed in Santa Monica, California in 1989. David Roback, via Rain Parade and Opal, met vocalist Hope Sandoval whilst she was still at high-school. Their debut album a year later, She Hangs Brightly, set the standard for their folk-bluesy ballads, and remains an indie classic.

Follow-up So Tonight That I Might See included the band's most high-profile tracks, 'Fade Into You' and 'Into Dust'. Both of which have been done to death via various American dramas; House, The OC, Alias, and more recently on an advert for Virgin in the UK.

Hope Sandoval now performs with former My Bloody Valentine drummer/instrumentalist Colm Ó Cíosóig. The duo released their second album in September.
