Mazzy Star - Seasons of Your Day

SilverScreen

One of the things I'll probably remember 2013 by is bands awaking after a long slumber and releasing new material, namely My Bloody Valentine, Sebadoh, Boards of Canada and now Mazzy Star. Listening to this album it sounds like they've never been away from music, they sound almost exactly like they did 20 years ago. Even though this new album sounds timeless and beautiful I can tell that this is going to take a few listens to get into. It's exactly what you expect to hear from them, they haven't really evolved their slow-burning sound in any way apart from more of a country feel to some songs. The jury is still out for whether this is another great album by them or just Mazzy Star by numbers.

Looking forward to getting this. I read an interview with the two of them in the Guardian. Absolutely nothing really gained from the interview, so it really brought me back.

'lay myself down' and 'sparrow. are maybe tracks 8 and 9 and the hightlight of a very good typical mazzy star album

After a few listens I feel a little bit lukewarm about it. It's a good album but not a great album. It has that nice Mazzy Star sound you'd expect from them and Hope Sandoval's vocals still make me feel fuzzy inside. But parts of the album just seem to pass you by and the album seems to lack a song that's up there with the likes of 'Fade Into You', 'Halah' or 'Take Everything'. Maybe it will grow on me over time.

Yeah I'm feeling the same. I'm enjoying it but nothing is really jumping out - the last track 'Flying Low' is probably my favourite and made most impact. Again though, it may take a few more and it's certainly lined up for a listen over the weekend.
