Hope Sandoval Music
Artist Overview
Hope Sandoval, and her bewitching vocals, first attracted international attention at the helm of dreamy alternative rock clan Mazzy Star, who were critical darlings and claimed an MTV-buzz-bin aided hit in 1994 with the mesmeric ballad "Fade Into You." After the Mazzy Star's breakup, Sandoval joined with Colm O'Ciosoig (formerly of My Bloody Valentine) to form Hope Sandoval & the Warm Inventions. The project retained the laid-back, slower-than-slowcore sound of her former band, and much like Mazzy Star, was propelled by Sandoval's sensuous, hypnotic voice. However, it replaced the psychedelic leanings with spare, subtle arrangements that reinforced Sandoval's gentle vocal style. The band proved durable, releasing well-received albums throughout the '00s.
