Among My Swan by Mazzy Star

Among My Swan, Mazzy Star's third studio album, came out on Capitol on October 29, 1996, and the production leans less on reverb than before, though the dreamy, drowsy spell holds. David Roback wrote most of the music and Hope Sandoval the words, as ever. Sandoval still sings like she's telling you a secret she half regrets, and on "I've Been Let Down" she has nothing behind her but an acoustic guitar and a harmonica.

Unlike So Tonight That I Might See, it produced no US Hot 100 hit, but "Flowers in December" reached number 40 in Britain in November 1996, the band's best showing there. "Disappear", "Happy" and "I've Been Let Down" were also singles, and after the last of them, in 1997, Mazzy Star went quiet, not releasing new music again until 2011.
