Mazzy Star

Mazzy Star is an American alternative rock band formed in Santa Monica, California, in 1989 from remnants of the group Opal. Founding member David Roback's friend Hope Sandoval became the group's vocalist when Kendra Smith left Opal.
The group is best known for the song "Fade into You" which brought the band some success in the mid-1990s and was the group's biggest mainstream hit, earning extensive exposure on MTV, VH1, and radio airplay. Roback and Sandoval are the creative center of the band, with Sandoval as lyricist and Roback as composer of the majority of the band's material.
The band's most recent studio album, Seasons of Your Day, was released in 2013, followed by the EP Still in 2018.

Peel never played any tracks from the group on his regular shows. Despite this, Peel's listeners voted Fade Into You into the 1994 Festive Fifty. The song got attention in the indie music press as well as shows such as Radio One's Evening Session presented by Steve Lamacq and Jo Whiley.
