Audiopile Review: Those of you who only know Mazzy Star from ‘So Tonight That I Might See’ are in for a shock. Sure, that album’s great. And, yes, we love ‘Fade Into You’. But ‘So Tonight…’ is honestly the band’s third-best album, after ‘She Hangs Brightly’ and ‘Among My Swan’,...

Among My Swan features the same swirling, psychedelic folk music that brought Mazzy Star mainstream success with 1993's So Tonight that I Might See. The songs employ the sparse arrangements and dark sense of space first explored by bands like Big Star (on Third / Sister Lovers) and the Velvet...

Audiopile Review: When is pop truly sophisticated? No shade on sophistipop per se acts like The Blue Nile and Prefab Sprout. We love them.

The second solo record by Mike Polizze of Philadelphia psych-squallers Purling Hiss and Birds of Maya, a rainier and more pensive affair than its predecessor—despite its playful humor and plentiful hooks—affirms his status as a consummate (and now not-so-secret) craftsman of instantly memorable bucolic odes of languid beauty, deepening his...

These recordings are indeed a minor sensation! It's hard to imagine that, apart from the well-known recordings in the GDR, something "different and deeper" existed in the late 1960s alongside appealing soul and jazz bands.
