(1993)"She Hangs Brightly" was the first album by the
dream pop bandMazzy Star , released in 1990 after the demise of OpalThe leadoff track "Halah" was also released as a single. It announces the band's trademark effect with haunting guitar work and lyrics, and Hope Sandoval's disengaged vocals. Roback's
Robbie Krieger -inspired psychedelic bluesslide guitar style can be heard on the song, "Free". "Ghost Highway" is another psychedelic rock track, with a fast rhythm. This song dates from the band's days as Opal and was initially slated to be the title track of Opal's second album. While not a commercial success, this album did establish Mazzy Star as a unique band with a unique sound.Notes
