Hope Sandoval & The Warm Inventions - Bavarian Fruit Bread [2001]


Que la sangre purpura se derrame sobre la ciudad, es hora de caminar junto a los sentidos y luego:

Pasajes submarinos interactuando con la realidad de los vientos en la tormenta, sombrio sombrero de nubes que acompañan su voz triste, dilatandose sobre los campos verdes, el cuerpo caen sobre la tremenda sensación de libertad que lo acompaña en todo el recorrido, duración de este disco, hasta llegar a la cima nevada sobre la pura y basta planicie del cielo, acercate al vuelo, sigue comfrontando esperiencias gratas y camufla de plumas tu cuerpo, la conciencia se pasa al lado del cosmos como una inmensa tela del la cual solo un pequeño lugar a usted le pertenece, disfrutela.


Hope Sandoval (born 1966) is an American singer-songwriter who was lead singer for Mazzy Star and later Hope Sandoval & The Warm Inventions.

Hope formed The Warm Inventions and released their first (and thus far only album) called “Bavarian Fruit Bread”, in 2001. This album sounds, again, little different in terms of theme, voice, and instrumentation than that of her work with Mazzy Star. However, with a larger band behind her, and more time under her creative belt, Hope’s voice has matured on these songs.

Subsequently, The Warm Inventions released three EP’s but received very little commercial success, no video on MTV, and very little radio play. Nonetheless, the band’s efforts were appreciated by her solid fan base.

Suki Ewers - Kind of Hazy [2008]



Suki Ewers has spent her career perfecting a glorious, countrified strand of dream-pop as part of bands Mazzy Star, Opal and Anemone, and this new Kramer-produced solo outing is comparable with the slowcore loveliness of Low, the stargazing Nashville sounds of Cortney Tidwell, and most obviously, the opiated balladry of former bandmate Hope Sandoval, particularly on the brilliant opener 'Time After Time'. The songwriting and production are in perfect harmony, sounding like a pedal steel-toting Velvet Underground on 'All Day Long', whilst spouting blasts of echoing guitar distortion and searing synthesizer on 'This Must Be Heaven'. Sidestepping the dream-pop pitfalls, Ewers never hides her songs - or for that matter her vocals - behind the array of studio techniques and effects that help shape this album, and Kind Of Hazy resounds far more clearly than its title might have you believe.
