Mazzy star among my swan full album


Among My Swan is the third album by the band Mazzy Star, released in 1996. Although Among My Swan did not contain any US Billboard Hot 100 hits like its predecessor, So Tonight That I Might See, this album garnered the band its highest-ranking single on the UK Singles Chart, when "Flowers In December" reached No. 40 in November 1996. "I've Been Let Down", did not chart in either the United States or the UK.

Contents

Among My Swan relied less on the echo effect that was nearly ubiquitous in all tracks on the previous two albums. Hope Sandoval's voice is paired with simple acoustic instrumentation that marks most of the tracks. The guitar and harmonica accompaniment on "I've Been Let Down" is an explicit example of this. These tracks are not markedly different in sound or feel from the preceding two albums.

Following the release of "I've Been Let Down" as a single in 1996, Mazzy Star went on hiatus, and did not release new music until the single "Common Burn"/"Lay Myself Down" in 2011. A new album, Seasons of Your Day was released in 2013.
