Anchored by the enduring wedding floor, rom-com soundtrack and mixtape staple “Fade Into You”, Mazzy Star’s So Tonight That I Might See is a darker take on the California sound that feels more like walking through Joshua Tree alone in the middle of the night than frolicking in the Laurel Canyon sun or surfing some waves in Malibu. The eerie roadhouse band quality of Mazzy Star comes through here as clearly as it ever did in their career with the music sounding as isolated as a dustball tumbling down the main road of a ghost town while keeping its melancholy beauty intact to make for one of the most enthralling albums you could hear in the 90s or any decade after that.
