Given all the recent musical supergroups to have formed in the recent weeks, it's might be easy to forget that this is by no means a new trend. On September 15th, Mazzy Star's Hope Sandoval and My Bloody Valentine's Colm Ó Cíosóig will attempt to remind of this when the high-profile duo return with a new high-profile album from their high-profile side-project. Entitled Through The Devil Softly , the 11-track album will mark the second full-length release and first in nearly eight years from Hope Sandoval & The Warm Inventions . On this particular go around, [...]
Mazzy Starin laulajana ja keulakuvana tunnetuksi tullut Hope Sandoval on viettänyt viime vuodet hiljaiseloa. Silloin tällöin Sandovalin herkkää ääntä on toki saanut kuulla yksittäisillä kappaleilla toisten ihmisten ja bändien levyillä (mm. Death In Vegas, The Chemical Brothers, Bert Jansch, Air France), mutta edellisestä omasta levystä on ehtinyt kertynyt jo 8 vuotta (Hope Sandoval & The Warm Inventions: Bavarian Fruit Bread / 2001). Onneksi tilanteeseen on tulossa muutos. 4. elokuuta ilmestyy Hope Sandoval & The Warm Inventionsin uusi single Blanchard , jota seuraa kokopitkä Through The Devil Softly 1. syyskuuta. Sandovalin työparina on [...]

A lot of things going on this week. For some reason Beck is on his game lately doing things that no other artist consider doing, but maybe he's just smarter than everyone else. Beck started a new section to go along with his Record Club. It's called Irrelevant Topics & he basically interviews other artists about whatever he feels like talking about. This week it's Tom Waits & it's a fascinating read if you've got the time. Trent Reznor changed his mind & decided to play more shows [...]
Thanks to My Old Kentucky Blog , two new songs from Hope Sandoval and Generationals have found their way to me. For those who don't know, Hope Sandoval is the lead singer of Mazzy Starr .

Hope Sandoval is fading back into you — the former Mazzy Star siren, who has since collaborated with the likes of the Jesus and Mary Chain, Air, the Chemical Brothers and Massive Attack, has a new album, "Through the Devil Softly," coming out Sept. 1 as part of her project with My Bloody Valentine's Colm O'Ciosoig, Hope Sandoval & the Warm Inventions . Their music to date has been labeled "slowcore;" it's downright hallucinatory if you listen at the right moment. U.S. tour dates coming in the fall, we're told. ||| Download: "Blanchard" [...]

An extensive North American tour is planned for Fall 09, with dates in the UK and Europe to follow.

There was a time when I would listen to Mazzy Star's Tonight So That I Might See on a daily basis. The hushed, warm vocals of Hope Sandoval that came through the speakers sounded inviting and almost like an incantation. Well, Mazzy singer Hope Sandoval is back for her second album as Hope Sandoval & The Warm Inventions with Through The Devil Softly . The album also features Colm O'Ciosoig of My Bloody Valentine who was onboard as collaborator for her [...]

Hope Sandoval and the Warm Inventions to release first disc since 2001.
Some good news buried in Rolling Stone's website , tucked away behind the Jackson coverage: Sandoval is back. With her band Hope Sandoval and the Warm Inventions (which features My Bloody Valentine drummer Colm Ó Cíosóig), Sandoval is gearing up to release her second record since the act's 2001 debut Bavarian Fruit Bread. The new disc Through the Devil Softly — out September 15th — is a lovely, 11-track collection of narcotic, folk tunes centered by Sandoval's breathy, irresistible seductive croon. So what took so long? "I don't really notice the time," says Sandoval coyly. "We don't [...]
So you're sitting at Six Arms on Seattle's Capitol Hill. Fresh from a Sunday afternoon nap, ready for an IPA and some pub grub. Some girl who looks exactly like Deb Googe from My Bloody Valentine walks by. What do you do? Well I would run down the street after her - and I did. I walked quickly out of the restaurant and loudly said, "excuse me!". She turns around and I ask "Is your name Debbie?". The answer is "yes" and I proceed to become more of a shaking, bumbling geek than ever. [...]
Welcome back, readers! I've been meaning to do the inevitable Rolling Stones -esque post for a while now and my reasons were threefold: 1) They're only one of the best fucking bands on the planet (still) .. 2) The Rolling Stones are about as relevant to me now as a child growing up on classic rock .. and 3) It is safe to say that "Wild Horses" is the earliest song I can remember absolutely falling in love with the instant I heard it. It is quite possibly one of the most beautiful songs I have ever heard and [...]
Speck Mountain - I Feel Eternal Marie-Claire Balabanian and Karl Briedrick met by chance in Norway, hitting it off and relocating back to the US to form an "ambient soul" band that blends the hypnotic psychedelia of Spacemen 3 and the crystal clear vocals of Mazzy Star. I dare say it works. Their second album, Some Sweet Relief , will be released later this year through Carrot Top records. MySpace Photo by Neil Krug , licensed under Creative Commons Posted in [...]
Cocteau Twins - Ice-Pulse (MP3) Death In Vegas - Help Yourself (MP3) Sorry about that. I was just having little lie-down after my last post and must've dozed-off. I'd better post a couple of sissy indie dream-pop songs quickly, before anyone notices I've been away. 'Ice-Pulse' is from 'Bluebeard EP': one of Cocteau Twins' later, post-4AD records when they were a bit more, well, dreamy and poppy. I'm not sure if Liz Fraser 's voice is everyone's cup-of-tea, [...]
Bronwen Exter photographed by Brian Dilg Although her album, Elevator Ride , was released over two years ago, Bronwen Exter 's gorgeous debut still resonates. Bronwen Exter - Elevator Ride The album is a collaboration between songwriter Johnathan Spottiswoode and Exter, who sings Spottiswoode's songs like a snug, velvet glove. Exter's voice is a thick blend of mystery and sensuality, quickly recalling vocalists like Peggy Lee and Hope Sandoval , two of the singer's obvious inspirations. Together, [...]
Earlimart is shaping up to be quite the prolific indie rock band with their sixth studio release, Hymn and Her (available now on Majordomo Records), coming out just one year after last July's Mentor Tormentor. Subtract a few previous members and Earlimart now exists solely as a duo. Specifically, Aaron Espinoza and Ariana Murray make [...]
In case you're wondering what former Mazzy Star vocalist Hope Sandoval has been up to, one of the answers apparently is "recording a new song for Air France." The compilation In The Air has the new Sandoval track "Wild Roses," an MP3 of which is available at Brooklyn Vegan, as well as tracks by Apparat, Four Tet, and the Chemical Brothers. And hey, what better excuse to post an embed of Richard X's "Into U," which melds Mazzy Star's biggest hit with the smooth vocals of Jarvis Cocker into one of the most breathtaking tracks of the past [...]
