For anyone willing to navigate fog-shrouded, oddly lit terrain, Mazzy Star should be a wonderful discovery.

The songs on She Hangs Brightly are undanceable, unhummable, yet compelling. Ultimately, Mazzy Star's hypnotic music, like Sandoval's voice, is as entrancing as the reflection of an ominous night sky on a lake. And its effect is just as disquieting.

Mazzy Star's debut, She Hangs Brightly, picks up where Opal's Happy Nightmare Baby left off; merely exchanging Kendra Smith's languorous vocals for the more sultry presence of Hope Sandoval, David Roback continues chasing the neo-psychedelic holy grail he's pursued since his days with the Rain Parade, albeit with mixed success here.

I envy the Mazzy Star fans who got to discover this album in 1990 and experience listening to their next two as a fan when they got released... Apart from a few songs feeling a little bit too long, and their influences shining through a bit too much at times, the genre melding uniqueness of this album is flawless and makes total sense for a band that was about to perfect their sound.
I really enjoyed this album! Hope's vocals is beautiful and haunting at the same time which is amazing, and the instrumentals is just easy on the ears!

não é perfeito mas é muito bom
