OTM, I couldn't get into that Richard X feat. Jarvis Cocker "Into You" which samples it because it's so played out.

i only have 'so tonight that i might see'. great record to complement a certain mood. 'mary of silence' is really really nice

The first one's the bestest. The first record, I mean, it's called, uh, She Hangs Brightly. Great record. The other two ain't bad either.

― chaki, Thursday, 27 March 2008 07:53 (sixteen years ago) link

WARNING: re-listening to these Mazzy Star albums now will give you goggles that will make Beach House and Marissa Nadler look like ridiculous posers
I like Beach House and Marissa Nadler, I'm just sayin'...

been listening to 'she hangs brightly' quite a lot recently. it's quite upbeat, channeling much brighter soundscapes than its brooding, sombre follow-up. keen to listen to 'among my swan' now.

I concur. Not that there's anything particularly bad about Swan, I just didn't have much use for another iteration of the same sorta thing.

That's what I thought when it was released but I feel that it does lack something, variety maybe? It just felt formulaic, whereas the 1st one was completely natural and effortless
― baaderonixx, Wednesday, 11 February 2009 14:31 (fifteen years ago) link
the first one's really nice, but effortless in the sense that it doesn't really dwell on any one particular mood. just sort of skirts around a whole bunch of different shades in a fleeting sort of way. the second one zones in on slow, ethereal textures at times and really nails it.

btw, I luuuurve SHB, really really like STTIMS, & am pretty lukewarm on most of AMS w. the exception of a few really beautiful trax.
