Mazzy Star's Hope Sandoval - New Album Sept 15

Since the release of Mazzy Star's debut album She Hangs Brightly, Hope Sandoval has defined the sound and style of California psychedelic dream pop. The world took notice when the breakthrough single "Fade Into You" (from sophomore album So Tonight That I Might See) hit the airwaves and MTV heavy rotation. Sandoval's trademark vocals helped to make her a modern day music icon. Now the revered singer returns along side My Bloody Valentine's Colm O'Ciosoig to deliver her long awaited sophomore album Through The Devil Softly on September 1.

Over the past decade, the sought after vocalist has collaborated with artists from across the musical landscape: The Jesus & Mary Chain, Air, Death in Vegas, The Chemical Brothers, Massive Attack and Bert Jansch, to count a few.

In 2001, she joined Colm O'Ciosoig to form Hope Sandoval & the Warm Inventions and release their debut Bavarian Fruit Bread. Now on Through The Devil Softly, the definitive star of the Paisley Underground scene reignites her trademark sound in an epic journey across the 11-song album. The project continues the laid-back, slowcore sound they are renowned for and places Sandoval's sensuous, hypnotic voice in the forefront. Recorded in both Northern California and the Wicklow Mountains of Ireland, the spare, subtle arrangements reinforce Sandoval's gentle vocal style.

A new acoustic ballad and Hope Sandoval's blue voice. Oh i'd missed her voice so much, now you can download her great new amazing song Blanchard (single).

New Ep by Spoon: "Got Nuffin"

Got Nuffin is Spoon's first release of new recordings since 2007's Ga Ga Ga Ga Ga. They surprised me with the lead track Got Nuffin as well as two b-sides, maybe Daniel's voice is both catchy and groovy here. However, i always expect the best from this band. "Got Nuffin" is beyond avarage, though.
