Cake it away!



We discovered Mazzy Star by way of Beach House when reading blogs/zines saying that Beach House was channeling a very Mazzy Star vibe, so we got an album.

I normally don't like female singers, because it sounds like they're trying too hard. I do however have a few exceptions. Grace Slick, Stevie Nicks, and Ann and Nancy Wilson, to name a few. But today I am writing about Hope Sandoval singer of Mazzy Star, who realized their moment in history with mid '90s hit “Fade Into You”.



Kind of 90s, yes, but look past it and you realize it's really sweet. And the vocals: earnest and effortless.

peace out, LP
