"She Hangs Brightly" was the first album by the dream pop band Mazzy Star, released in 1990 after the demise of Opal

The 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 blues slide 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

Credits: Hope Sandoval, David Roback, Sylvia Gomez, Keith Mitchell, Suki Ewers, William Cooper, Paul Olguin.
