"Rhymes of an Hour" sits on Among My Swan, Mazzy Star's third album, which Capitol released on October 29, 1996. David Roback and Hope Sandoval wrote it together; Roback produced it with Sandoval as co-producer, and he also shared the engineering with Dale Everingham and William Cooper Glenn.
Among My Swan eases off the reverb that fogged the band's earlier records, though it's hardly a change of heart: the hush and the slow-motion drift are still the whole point. It also closed a chapter. After "I've Been Let Down" came out as a single in 1997, the band went on hiatus, and no new Mazzy Star music surfaced until 2011.
