Last night I had the pleasure of attending the Mazzy Star concert at the Neptune theater in Seattle, WA. Remember Mazzy Star from the 90's? No...how about the song "Fade Into You"? The song was a teenage dream, rock anthem for start crossed lovers in the 1990's, and is still to this day used in countless television shows and movies.
Although it took Mazzy Star 17 years to release their new album Seasons of Your Day, it was well worth the wait. The rock-alt band still has a dreamy, atmospheric sound with beautiful lulling vocals song by Hope Sandoval. A dimly lit stage and hypnotic moving images of space, waves, and earthly elements projected in the background and set the mood. Although they were experiencing a few sound issues last night, Mazzy Star recovered and put on a great show. They ended up playing "Fade Into You"unto which I immediately started reminiscing of middle school crushes and a time when the only thing that mattered was boys and making mixed tapes to play on my silver Sony Walkman.
If you were ever a fan of Mazzy Star back in the day, I highly recommend listening to their new album and checking out one of their shows if they happen to be coming to a venue near you. I have also listed a few other albums that will be on my playlist this week. Enjoy!!
