General Interest So Tonight That I Might See . People tend to confuse the band Mazzy Star with it's singer Hope Sandoval. Truth be told, they've been right all along. Sandoval's languid, weeping willow voice is Mazzy Star the name is a mere formality. With nods to Nico and the Velvet Underground, So Tonight that I Might See is vintage Mazzy. Remarkably, the recording produced a strikingly undanceable single, "Fade into You". The rest of the album sticks close to the single's plaintive, retro balladry. Though Sandoval rarely raises her voice above a sultry whisper, it's bright enough to hold your attention all night. --Nick Heil Review There is absolutely no point in beating about the bush over the fact that Mazzy Stars second record includes nay commences with what must stand as dream-pops crowning moment. Fade Into You is a song that has been described many times, forced into romantic context in many a big or small screen venture, yet somehow defies any real attempt to bind it with words. I look to you and I see nothing / I look to you to see the truth if this really is a love song and a lot of people have taken that view over the years then Hope Sandovals haunting lyrics posit love as a black, coma-like obliteration. This isnt a fade into one perfect whole its erasure of the self. Truthfully, though, its not clear what Fade Into You is about: Sandovals words are cryptic, speaking of emptiness and shadows, some grand psychological disappearing act. It's enigmatic, but almost unutterably beautiful, a languorously uplifting piano figure played over and over, shimmering under lambent slide guitars, something close to yearning in Sandovals oft dissonant voice. It does, of course, unbalance the album, and has certainly given enormous numbers of people the wrong idea about Mazzy Star. Though woozy country trappings and soporific tempos characterise all Sandoval and David Robacks work, theyre a far artier, more abrasive prospect than the totemic track suggests. So Tonight That I Might See may have less of a bad acid trip Doors vibe than debut She Hangs Brightly, but still: skip to the seven-and-a-half minute title songs menacing guitar motif, erratic beds of feedback, and Sandovals diffuse mumble, and youre got something more suited to soundtracking Apocalypse Now than The OC. A cover of Loves Five String Serenade is the only hooky moment to speak of beyond Fade Into You this records heart lies with the foggy American gothic of Mary of Silence and Blue Light, the woozy, half-asleep country of Bells Ring and Blue Light. Its an obtuse, atmospheric record, and if its inescapably overshadowed by its opening song, then thats fair enough: nobody writes two of those in a lifetime. --Andrzej Lukowski This link will take you off in a new window Shipping Shipping is free for all customers in Australia.
