Mazzy Star are one of those bands that you either know about and love, or don’t know about and eventually have some older friend question your taste in music until you check them out. For me, I never got into Mazzy Star until David Bazan covered “Fade Into You” (because apparently, David Bazan is my older friend in my own over-generalizations). This year, the group has returned with their first album since 1996’s Among My Swan, and the new release, titled Seasons Of Your Day, is streaming at NPR.

The album also features an appearance from My Bloody Valentine’s Colm Ó Cíosóig. Strange how two long-in-hiding bands can return in the same year and then also have a spot on the other’s album. The album is out on September 24; until then, go to NPR for the stream.

I finished school with a music theory degree. Before I finished school, I was a janitor. You really should apologize to all the janitors you've ever had. You hurt them. Seriously. You did.

But, now that we've cleared that up and you called your high school janitor, know that I quit being a janitor to pursue writing about music. So here I am, and here you are, and hey how are you?
