so tonight that i might see (mazzy star)
The fuzzy fog of a '90s coffeehouse. These are chill songs, slow, cool, there's a dream to each of them. It feels like the music that would buzz in the background while you catch up with that girl you should've loved all along, the one you've known for years.
"Unreflected" has an appeal, something in the acoustic guitar produces a lovely sense of pace, of urgency, that draws me in. And the obvious jewel of the album is "Fade In To You," a beautiful number, from the downbeat strike of the acoustic guitar to the bluesy dance of the piano to the sweet swoon of the electric guitar to the seductively dreamy vocals, it's one of pinnacle Gen-X love songs. (come to think of it, is there a better Gen-X love song? And generally speaking, 'best love song by generation' seems like a fun bar discussion.)
