Hope Sandoval & The Warm Inventions - Clear Day [mellow pop]

Hope Sandoval is both the lead singer of the prominent-in-the-90s dream pop band Mazzy Star and a solo musician. My exposure to her music is best characterized by the term 'second-hand', in that I seem to hear (and really like) covers and remixes of her music prior to hearing the originals (and even prior to knowing she was the original artist). This has happened a total of three times and I think I've blogged all three of those songs here, so that's certainly quite the string of coincidences (the three songs are "Suzanne" by Asobi Seksu, the Gui Boratto remix of "Paradise Circus" by Massive Attack, and "Fade Into You" by Stumbleine).

So, why not give her music some credit, finally. Ha. This is "Clear Day" from her solo/collaboration album with The Warm Inventions, Bavarian Fruit Bread, released in 2001.
