A Star is born

Recommended Posts

 

So anyway,

I was watching that American Idol interview show at 8.30, when adverts came in. I usually channel surf at this time, but a trailer for a new TV show came on.

The trailer for "The OC". Anyway, the music struck a familar chord. That haunting voice, that melancholic guitar. I know that song...I know those words....I know that artist...but what was her name.... I frantically skimmed through my CD collection, thank god I sort them alphabetically according to artist name, and I found Her.

I found the CD.

The song was "Into Dust" by Mazzy Star. from the album "So Tonight that I might see".

I immediately put in the CD, cued up the track and "WOAH!" I forgot how good this CD sounds. I spent the night listening to all 3 of her albums.

"She hangs brightly"

"Among my swan" and the above mentioned.

 

Junkie fans will definitely like her sound. dark, haunting and melancholic. usually a clean guitar and her voice. Quite a tad of reverb to the sound,but it makes it more "Airy" than as if it's coming from a bathroom. Beautiful lyrics and melodies.

 

I don't know if you can get them in Singapore. I ordered mine from the states quite some years ago. I discovered her from some soundtrack of a movie (forgot which) and I bought all 3 albums without hesitation. She only released these 3, so I've never thought to look for them here.

What was the name of the song that made it into the charts? That was quite a long while back in the 80s I think.
