BEST SONIC SEDATIVE: HOPE SANDOVAL & THE WARM INVENTIONS
"You all look quite tired," Hope Sandoval, the onetime singer for '90s dream-pop hit makers Mazzy Star, told the Sunday crowd in the Stardust Ballroom. They did. And Sandoval's music is blissfully responsible. Her five-piece band, including collaborator Colm Ó Cíosóig of equally ethereal outfit My Bloody Valentine, sedated the crowd with jazzy electric guitar riffs with the reverb set to 11. "Blanchard," a spine-tingler off their new album, Through The Devil Softly, and "Suzanne," an older tune with xylophone plinks, both lulled the crowd as the chanteuse sang in a breathy whisper. Grainy black and white video of a ballerina twirling in a flowing dress, and footage of blue, green, and yellow watercolors smudging together added to the opiate dream state. Nighty, night.
