I feel like Fade Into You/Cowboy Junkies "Sweet Jane"/ and that Wild Horses cover are all basically the same song

I listened to the first album and was quite impressed. If I was going to Coachella, I would've seen them live. Do anyone know if they are a good live act. They seem to be perfect for a more intimate, indoor setting.

I couldn't imagine watching them at a giant festival, and I've been a fan for quite some time.
― Matt M., Monday, 16 January 2012 20:06 (twelve years ago) link
Those three albums are pretty amazing, though - the third in particular gets nowhere near the love / respect it deserves.
― If Assholes Could Fly This Place Would Be An Airport, Monday, 16 January 2012 21:40 (twelve years ago) link
third is my favourite
― virtual gape machine (electricsound), Monday, 16 January 2012 22:07 (twelve years ago) link
My favourite too.
They are a very good live act but the setting may have an impact. I saw them in a church in 1996, or thereabouts, and it was close to perfect.
I don't know if much has changed in the last fifteen years but Hope used to be a bit edgy when she sang live. She didn't seem to like interacting with a crowd and walked off stage in the middle of shows, on at least a couple of occasions, when people shouted stuff at her she took offence at.
― Mohombi Khush Hua (ShariVari), Monday, 16 January 2012 22:09 (twelve years ago) link
All three albums are essential, but I can't imagine them being any good in a live setting like Coachella*. I saw Hope Sandoval a few years ago in an intimate, gorgeous theater, and even that setting felt too demanding for her.
― Evan R, Monday, 16 January 2012 22:49 (twelve years ago) link
(*not that I wouldn't try to see them there anyway if I had the chance)
And new album finally en route...

the b-side to that 7" from last year was pretty great!

it's great how they do so much with so little. i need to figure out how they get that reverb.

I'd dare to say I like the first Warm Inventions record better than *any* Mazzy Star record. Not that I don't like Mazzy ...― tylerw, Thursday, November 19, 2009 12:36 PM (eight years ago) Bookmark Flag Post Permalink

somehow i never listened to bavarian fruit bread before but man it is killer, certainly as good as any mazzy record imo

The hunter record she recently brought out is solid too
― tinnitus the night (Ross), Thursday, 29 March 2018 19:32 (six years ago) link
Everything she's ever done is good imo but nothing will top STTIMS for me.
― Benson and the Jets (ENBB), Thursday, 29 March 2018 19:33 (six years ago) link
yeah i may have been slightly exaggerating back in 2009, but whenever bavarian fruit bread comes on (it's a fave of my wife's) i'm struck by how good it is.
― tylerw, Thursday, 29 March 2018 19:49 (six years ago) link
TBH i kinda feel that way about the second warm inventions record - through the devil softly - which gets more plays than any MS record around mine
caveat of course that i like mazzy star just fine but TTDS just hits the spot for me more consistently and deeply, it always feels a bit heretical when i tell friends tho'!
i saw the warm inventions tour that record and it was a really beautiful show (although i heard that some of the other dates on that tour were a bit troubled)

BTW, Hope Sandoval is on a Bobby Gentry tribute album, singing "Big Boss Man" - In Praise Of: Bobbie Gentry, "The Delta Sweete"

So I went to the Oakland show and one of the LA shows, and they were pretty magical. Especially the LA show in a gorgeous old church. Listening to the after-show banter at a nearby bar, was amused to hear how many fans were aggrieved that the stage was unlit so they couldn't get any good pictures or even see Hope Sandoval. They had a big screen with these animated overlays that changed for each song that was great though. Some fans don't know they're born.

i forgot all about these shows, glad you had fun Hazel.
