Review

"Among My Swan" by Mazzy Star is a real treat for anyone who loves music that feels like a warm hug on a chilly night. It's got this stripped-down vibe that really lets Hope Sandoval's voice shine through. I can't get enough of tracks like "Disappear" and "I've Been Let Down" - they're so simple but pack such an emotional punch.

You can totally hear The Velvet Underground's influence on this album, especially in songs like "Rhymes of an Hour" and "Umbilical." It's like Mazzy Star took that classic sound and added their own dreamy twist to it. And let's talk about "Look on Down from the Bridge" - that song gives me goosebumps every time with its haunting organ and guitar work.

While it might not have been a chart-topper like their previous album, "Among My Swan" still made waves. "Flowers in December" even cracked the UK Top 40, which is pretty cool. I love how Mazzy Star stuck to their guns and focused on creating something true to their artistic vision rather than chasing mainstream success. It's a beautiful, introspective album that really shows off their unique sound. - Sienna
