    Sandoval and her collaborators may never modify the melancholy torch that they bear, but they keep that fire masterfully for those of us who still have a yen for patient, no-frills sounds that happen to serve as a miracle balm.

    Mazzy Star may not have evolved much over the past 17 years, but Season Of Your Day proves they never, ever need to. [Oct 2013, p.88]

    It’s the aural equivalent of sweet syrup—slow, molasses-y and utterly satisfying.

    It is refreshing to hear Sandoval’s stunning vocals once again coupled with Roback’s guitars. The world is a better place for it.

    It makes for the best kind of comeback: equal parts return and reinvention.

    As far as comeback albums go, Seasons Of Your Day doesn’t disappoint, but few songs truly stand out.

    A band reuniting implies unfinished creative business. In the case of Seasons Of The Day, one strains excessively to imagine what that business might be. [Aug-Sep 2013, p.92]

    It's as if she recorded this album right after "Among My Swan" her 2nd or 3rd album. Mazzy Star is always a treat to listen to because their of lead singer Hope Sandoval's moody and trippy songs alongside a great voice. Mazzy Star are still making relevant music well into the 21st century. I've always revisited their music. It doesn't become stale or unpalatable. This is a great album. Can't wait to see them live! She's so charismatic with a look all her own- just like all the other greats that is always is a plus!!!… Expand

    Departing from the more sophisticated sadness and meticulous beauty of Among My Swan and So Tonight That I Might See, Seasons of Your Day reveals a much more honest, edgier sound. One part blues, one part country, one part folk. Strong work 17 years overdue.… Expand
