Pullin’ ‘Tubes | Mazzy Star Returns With California

The band broke through to the mainstream in 1994, nearly a year after the release of their sophomore effort, So Tonight That I Might See, thanks in part to the unexpected success of that record’s lead track -“Fade Into You.” The gorgeous acid-country track peaked at #44 on the Billboard charts, with its black and white video finding its way into heavy rotation on both MTV and VH1. After releasing and touring behind their third record, Among My Swan, Sandoval and Roback parted ways announcing a hiatus, while going on to work with the Jesus and Mary Chain and Beth Orton respectively.
After flirting with a mini-reunion in 2000, Mazzy Star officially returned to the recording studio to release a double-A-side single in 2011, with the promise that a full album was in the works. Now, some two years later, the band has lived up to that statement with release of their first new record in 17 years, Seasons Of Your Day -a ten-track collection of dreamy psychedelic-folk.
Let’s check out the video for the record’s lead single -“California”:
