[1996] Mazzy Star, "Among My Swan"

My wife's CD. She also has 1993's "So Tonight That I Might See" which includes my favourite Fade Into You.

I listened to this album twice through, and both times I missed most of it. It's awfully... low key. It's as if the band set up in one corner of an enormous echoy studio, looked down at their instruments, instructed each other to slow everything down by half, then set up the microphone in the other corner and hit record.

I don't know if I'd enjoy it better if someone covered the songs with some less-jammy guitar and actually enunciated. Probably not.
