Review
"So Tonight That I Might See" is the hypnotic second album from Mazzy Star, enveloping listeners in its dreamy and melancholic soundscape after its release in the fall of 1993. The band's most famous track, "Fade Into You," adds to the allure of the album with its chart-topping success and remains a hauntingly beautiful anthem to this day. With roots in alternative rock and 'dream' pop, the duo of David Roback and Hope Sandoval have certainly left their mark, extending their ethereal touch beyond their debut project, "She Hangs Brightly."
The album weaves a spell with its minimalist guitar strums and Sandoval's captivating vocals, offering a uniquely seductive experience to its listeners. Though not every critic was swept away, with some suggesting a sense of monotony setting in after multiple listens, the album achieved platinum status a couple of years after release and stands as the band's crown jewel. Its enduring appeal is clear, and the emotional and atmospheric depths it explores have influenced a breadth of artists over the years, ensuring that "So Tonight That I Might See" continues to resonate long after its initial whispers in the '90s. - Courtney
