Hi all,

I gave a listen to that snippet on the Tendril Tales site and it is evocative of 'Bluebird' from TTDS (which is not a bad thing as that song and album are both stunning). The HSATWI show here in Vancouver went badly but the one moment of magic for me was when they did 'Bluebird'.

Cheers,
Mike

They've upped a 36-second vinyl sample of Let Me Get There on the Mazzy Facebook page:

Sounds sweet.

Let Me Get There's music video has been released online. It's directed by Hope - so maybe that explains who has been doing all those Mazzy Star/Warm Inventions videos these past few years. 8-)

Also: a big congratulations Hope & Colm! You've just got yourselves your very first UK top 5 single!

Someone posted a link for the new video Homeostasis links to at the FB fan group yesterday. At first I was skeptical, for a few reasons, that it was in fact an official video instead of some fan's effort. Then I saw sites like SPIN confirm that not only is it official, but Hope directed it.

Personally, I'm underwhelmed, and like the brief images of ocean waves better than the singing clay heads! Also, it doesn't seem nearly as creative or interesting to these eyes as prior fairly recent videos (HS&TWI, Tendril Tales, & Mazzy Star) which I suspect Colm may have had much to do with. And Hope directing a video with NO CATS in it (Meow-no!)? That's a surprise! I'm glad the song's doing well on UK charts.

The video was also announced yesterday a.m. at a HS&TWI FB page which I initially suspected was a non-official one trying to look and sound official by using phrases like "our new video, " but now I think it IS an official band site on FB:

If you haven't been able to get the Let Me Get There single (or the double CD with bonus tracks), you can listen to the exclusive track "That Spider" here:

I think it is the song they are playing in the rehearsal video posted to their Facebook page:

Emma: Thanks for the heads up re. "My Spider" being available now at yt, & for solving the mystery re. what song they're rehearsing in that video. While awaiting arrival of my Rough Trade 2-CD version of the album I ordered, the one containing the two extra B-side tracks "My Spider" and "She's in the Wall," I'm glad to be able to hear a song preview while I wait! I posted your yt find to the FB Group just now, noting there that you found it. Thank you Emma!

Anybody else notice/lament the absence of harmonica on the new album? I don't hear any arrangements on Until the Hunter that are crying out for it, but it's always nice to hear, "Wild Roses" being one example of Hope's stellar harp playing. As of today, my ranking of Hope & TWI albums:
1. Until the Hunter
2. Through the Devil Softly
3. Bavarian Fruit Bread

Am I missing something, is there harmonica anywhere on the new LP?

Malavita: Haven't noticed harmonica on the new album either - unless we missed something. I'm finding the new album very listenable, and might agree with your ranking of the 3 HS&TWI albums in order of preference.
