Mazzy Star - Among My Swan

Mazzy Star – Among My Swan (2025 RSD Essentials Reissue)
Label: Capitol / Virgin Music Group
Format: LP, Bone Vinyl (RSD Essentials Exclusive)

Reissued for 2025 as part of the Record Store Day Essentials series, Among My Swan arrives on limited edition Bone-colored vinyl—a fitting match for the spectral beauty of Mazzy Star’s third studio album. Originally released in 1996, Among My Swan finds the band deepening their signature sound: sparse, hazy, and emotionally potent, with every track bathed in a dusky glow.

Building on the dream-folk template of their earlier releases, Mazzy Star continue to craft haunting ballads rooted in blues, folk, and vintage psychedelia. David Roback’s slide guitar work and understated organ textures create an atmosphere both intimate and vast, while Hope Sandoval’s voice—equal parts smoke and honey—casts a spell that never quite lifts.

Songs like “Flowers in December” and “Disappear” showcase the band’s uncanny ability to make space as powerful as sound. Drawing subtle influence from artists like the Velvet Underground and Big Star’s Third, Among My Swan is never overindulgent. Instead, it’s mood music of the highest order—delicate, drifting, and endlessly replayable.

This 2025 pressing offers a beautifully rendered edition of a fan-favorite, capturing Mazzy Star’s twilight magic in one of their most restrained and quietly stunning releases.
