She Hangs Brightly

She Hangs Brightly is the debut studio album by American alternative rock band Mazzy Star. It was released on May 21, 1990, by Rough Trade Records and re-released by Capitol Records later in the year.

The song "Ghost Highway" is featured on the soundtrack to the 1994 film "Love and a .45."

"Blue Flower" was released as a single and reached number 29 on the Billboard Alternative Songs chart. Four years later, "Halah" reached number 19 on the same chart after the success of "Fade into You".

Ben Cardew of Pitchfork said: "Hope Sandoval’s hypnagogic whisper and Roback’s velvety guitar tones create a [...] late-night atmosphere, tempered by songs that borrow from the vivid musical austerity of early blues."

The album showcases the band's trademark effect with haunting guitar work and lyrics, and Hope Sandoval's detached vocals. David Roback's Robby Krieger-inspired psychedelic blues slide guitar style can be heard on the song "Free".

"Ghost Highway" is another psychedelic rock track, with a fast rhythm. This song dates from the band's days as Opal and was initially slated to be the title track of Opal's second album.[original research?]

"Blue Flower" is a Slapp Happy cover from the 1972 album Sort Of.[citation needed]

The album cover artwork is a shot of an Art Nouveau stairway designed by architect Victor Horta at the Hôtel Tassel in Brussels.
