A few music sites have posted listings of upcoming record day (April 1, 2016) vinyl exclusives, including this piece of good news:
"Hope Sandoval and The Warm Inventions – "Isn't It True" [7"] (Red Vinyl, new song off upcoming album, plus exclusive b-side track, numbered, indie-retail exclusive)"

So, it may be a scenario (for maybe another long while) of "goodbye Mazzy Star, hello again Hope Sandoval & the Warm Inventions!" With luck, Hope will tour this year along with her new album release.
Thanks go to Mark Blair, member of Facebook fan group at https://www.facebook.com/groups/6071129794/
for first posting this news.
(This post should pehaps be put in the "Solo Projects & Collaborations" section instead, but that section's been so little used, people may miss the news if its only posted there, so I'll put it here too)
