- Mazzy Star had tragedy and sadness throughout their career. The era that saw success on their journey was their sophomore sensation, "So Tonight That I Might See." Little did you know that this album would produce their iconic hit, "Fade Into You."
It wasn't meant to be a nostalgic anthem. Contrary to popular belief, the dreamy song speaks of heartache and longing for the present moment. The piano and slide guitar weave a tapestry of emotions that was never intended to be a chart-topper. Yet, it soared to platinum heights, selling over a million copies and claiming the number 3 spot on modern rock charts.
As the echoes of their second record faded, Mazzy Star remained in the spotlight. With touring, television appearances, and remarkable film placements like "Batman Forever" and "Stealing Beauty," their music infiltrated the hearts of listeners across generations. Their third album, "Among My Swan," emerged in 1996. The Capitol Records recognized the multifaceted appeal of Mazzy Star - not just confined to teenagers or adults, but a timeless essence that defied boundaries.
Surprisingly, "Among My Swan" found itself mentioned in the most unexpected places, including Martha Stewart Living, of all things. The journey, however, was not without its challenges. Despite its glowing press coverage and innovative promotional strategies, the album's commercial performance fell short of expectations. Amid these twists and turns, Hope Sandoval reportedly expressed her desire to be freed from the confines of their label contract.
The ever-changing landscape of major labels, chasing the formula for massive sales, clashed with the essence of Mazzy Star's artistry. Their hiatus ensued in 1997, leading both Sandoval and Roback towards divergent musical paths. Yet, music never ceased to flow in their veins. As the years slipped by, the duo continued to collaborate, even if releasing music wasn't their primary focus.
The hiatus spanned for almost 13 years. Then, the long-awaited moment arrived. In 2013, Mazzy Star emerged from the shadows with "Seasons of Your Day”, peaking at No. 24 on the UK albums chart and No. 42 on the Billboard album charts in the United States. Yet, fate dealt its hand. In 2016, the band mourned the loss of their drummer Keith Mitchell after his battle with cancer. Amidst these moments, the band released an EP titled "Still," a testament to their unwavering spirit. David Roback remained a driving force, working on projects that celebrated their legacy. However, tragedy struck in 2020, claiming Roback's life due to cancer, leaving a void that could never be filled.

Apparently the lack of massive sales is considered a "sad" tale of this rare band's history whose music still resonates today. Mazzy Star never gave a f**k about commercial success or played the fame game to achieve it like everybody else. They knew the only important thing was the music, everything else was industry bulls**t.
They were right.
Their music remains timeless & influential.
❤🎉😊
The sad tale is the loss of 2 members of Mazzy Star to cancer. Roback was a huge loss for the Alternative scene.
she has a voice to die for
She was always impressive to me :)

Great insight to a great band! I was lucky enough to see them perform (in the dark) 02/26/2019 one of their last live performances in Los Angeles.

I was there too! Super grateful to have experienced them as well ❤
Through Lana Del Rey to the Mazzy Star, am now a fan!
Both great artists...thanks for the comment!!
Bravo pour ce beau résumé de la vie de Mazzy Star !!!! " Parmi mes cygnes" était vraiment une révélation ....un son nouveau ....une Jim Morrisson plus douce (Hope S) ...doublée d'un Ray Manzarek-Syd Barett ( David R) au clavier/guitare ...On a l'impression sur ce 3ème album de grimper sur le dos d'un cygne en glissant doucement sur un lac dont les eaux miroitantes de bulles irisées deviennent peu à peu plus lumineuses et colorées...multicolores aux douces couleurs de l'arc en ciel.....un voyage musical psychédélique inégalé : " Fade into You" " Rhymes of an hour " " Umbilical" ...dans le ventre de la mère.....des morceaux signant un style inimitable !!! Quel plaisir renouvelé d'écouter , de partager, de remercier! Merci Hope et David pour ces albums d'un autre monde...empli de pureté de plénitude et de douceur
the most intwnse boice in the world ,,, love her
So what's sad about it? Mazzy Star rocks!!
that she does!!
David Roback died of cancer aged 61yrs old, that's what's sad about it....
… I love this, thank you! very well done and great speaking voice ♥️
it's impossible to find even a photo of her today
She lays pretty low
Jimmy Fallon from a few years ago
I dont understand the sad story.
Roeback and the drummer both died of cancer, so that’s pretty sad. I guess Hope is the only surviving member.
I just wouldn’t call it “tragic”
Why are there almost no interviews with the singer? There are only 1 or 2, but from the 90s, from these 30 years until now, nothing... is she an introverted person and she doesn't really like talking to journalism?
i would imagine you're spot on... there's very little to almost nothing on here related to interviews. Hopefully she'll do something in the future with an interview but if she hasn't by now I'd say she likes keeping a low profile.
From what I've heard, Hope was terribly shy and hated standing out there in front of a crowd. You can see she closes her eyes a lot and tries to remove herself from the stage while she sang. She just wanted to make music. Such an amazing voice.
Super shy. I saw them a few years ago and there was hardly any light on the stage, could barely see her.
Hope with Jesus and Mary chain a band from my hometown along with aztec camera.. with the legend that is roddy frame guy that wrote some classic songs at 15yr old ❤
Jesus and Mary Chain... what a great band!!
I found them through gears of war 3 into dust trailer
Thanks for sharing!
Saw their album cover on Twitter without knowing who they were and thought it was a Lana Del Ray new album.
There's definitely a flavor there that's relatable but Fade Into You is so haunting and unique 👍
@@ericdelucamusic1 def agreed!!!! Lana is more relatable to me in a way where she opens up about self struggle and relationships. I get the vibe that Mazzt Starr is tha same but more unconventional and complex
I saw Mazzy Star open for The Jesus and Mary Chain in the mid 90's, and I remember she freaked out on the crowd because they were talking while she was trying to sing. It was pretty sad how seriously she took herself, and how she thought berating a crowd who wasn't even there to see her was a good idea. They had a good song, though.
