Stoned & Dethroned , the fifth album from The Jesus and Mary Chain has seen several CD reissues in recent years, but on March 6th the album will be available again on vinyl for the first time since its initial release in 1994. While mellower than previous albums, Stoned & Dethroned is still an incredible record, and features appearances from Shane MacGowan of The Pogues and Hope Sandoval of Mazzy Star . The album is available to preorder from Midheaven for $16.
This is a truly genre-defining "trip-hop" album.
Fans of dream-pop do not have to wait long for an old favorite. Mazzy Star will be releasing a new album, as well as touring in 2012. Hope Sandoval and David Roback will be back on the road early next year before releasing their fourth full-length album

Det er hele 15 år siden Mazzy Star , bestående af sangerinde Hope Sandoval og guitarist David Roback, udgav deres sidste plade Among My Swan , som har en særlig plads i mit all time favourite efterårs/vinter soundtrack. Det er derfor nærmest en underdrivelse at bruge ordet "endelig" i forbindelse med Mazzy Stars tilbagevenden. Ikke desto mindre er Mazzy Star endelig tilbage med en ny single med dertilhørende b-side. Jeg har lige skruet op for varmen på min radiator for første gang siden sidste vinter, så timingen er perfekt! Bandet gør [...]

The double single will be released on October 31st - grab it here . [...]

Personalmente creo que es imposible haber pasado, vivido o superado los años 90 sin conocer "Fade into You" , esta canción de 1994 que pusiera en el candelero a Mazzy Star , grupo de dream pop originario de California que contaba con la presencia de ensueño de Hope Sandoval , sin duda una de las divas del indie de la época gracias a su hermosa voz de terciopelo. Aunque el grupo nunca anunció su separación oficial, sí estuvieron alejados por 15 años del mundo de la música, con Hope [...]

Luther Russell & Sarabeth Tucek in Liverpool September 2011. We've swooned, been moved and waxed lyrical with regard to Sarabeth Tucek and her beautiful album 'Get Well Soon' a number of times on this here blog. In fact such has been our admiration for her work that we may soon have to invent new superlatives in order to attempt to aptly convey the high esteem in which we hold her in. Given the aforementioned two sentences you can doubtless appreciate the giddy rush of excitement we experienced when news reached us of [...]

Lanterns On The Lake er et 6 mand stor band fra Newcastle som du ikke må gå glip af, hvis du som jeg sætter pris på afdæmpet, filmisk melankoli. Sigur Rós spøger ind i mellem i baggrunden som forbillede, når det bliver mest storladent, men Lanterns On The Lake bevæger sig ofte mere ovre i folkemusikken, som de smukt blander med drømmende melodier. Instrumentalt er paletten bred; bl.a. guitar, violin, mandolin, piano, synths, klokkespil, kalimba og cello. I centrum står Hazel Wildes hviskende vokal, som minder mig lidt om Hope Sandovals fra Mazzy Star. Lanterns On The Lake [...]

I'll admit it, we probably don't do the best job of promoting female musicians as much as we should around these parts. But, something about Sarabeth Tucek caught me today, perhaps it was the simplicity of her offering. There's just a gentle guitar that meanders throughout, and then there's just the vocal that goes atop it all. Something in the way Tucek sings is awfully reminiscent of one Hope Sandoval, but perhaps that's just wishful thinking. Regardless, she's got a striking voice, and you can hear more from Sarabeth when her album, [...]

I know it must sound like blasphemy to a whole lot of you but Massive Attack have always struck me as quite boring. Quite obviously talented but the only thing that ever had me standing back in true admiration was 'Teardrop' and the way '100th Window' sounded so exotically middle eastern. They are certainly worth a decent thesis per review, their cerebral approach just demands it but for the sake of brevity lets just say that Gui Boratto's remix of 'Paradise Circus' is a delight. Hope Sandoval sits in on vocals, thereby granting some window of appreciation into why it [...]
Click here to view the embedded video. "Trouble" . . . In perhaps a dying gasp, MySpace erupted in an RSS spasm, clogging my feed with thousands of posts. I'd delete it all, but some of the news is actually timely. So I am sorting through countless band MySpace updates from years ago and screwing up my internal clock big-time. Thus I stumbled across this video for "Trouble" by Hope Sandoval & The Warm Inventions, from their album [...]
