About this episode
Some bands would prefer that you do not perceive them, and Mazzy Star are one of those bands. How does a duo that rejects the concept of modernity so thoroughly come to achieve the prominence and cult-like devotion that Mazzy Star did? With goddamn gorgeous beautiful songs, for starters. This week’s guest Meaghan Garvey joins Yasi to chart how this Los Angeles band found its way into the hearts and minds of listeners everywhere with a decades spanning career that defied convention at every turn.
