The delicious dichotomy between darkness and light, the space between inspiration and the manifestation of thought, is where Hope Sandoval’s music and lyrics catch fire.

Product Description

CD Description

Bavarian Fruit Bread was originally released on Rough Trade but has been out of print in recent years. Reissued at a mid-price level to coincide with the new album, it is a gorgeous slice of minimalist folk pop, with Sandoval's gorgeous vocals sitting atop often sparse acoustic instrumentation.

5.0 out of 5 stars This is absolutely Tops 12 Nov 2001
By ghostbureau@yahoo.co.uk
Format:Audio CD
Being a fan of Mazzy Star for quite a while, I was keen to hear Hope Sandoval's first solo outing (apart from the At The Doorway Again EP and the stuff with the Chemical Brothers and the Jesus and Mary Chain). I can tell you now that since I got this LP, nothing else has been on my cd player (and I have a big cd collection with [in my opinion] a lot of really good stuff in it).

Hope's voice is as deliciously narcotic as usual, at the same time languid and sorrowful, and if anything the tracks are even more laid-back than Mazzy Star... perfect music for any time, stone-cold chilled and sweeter than a kiss.

5.0 out of 5 stars Lovely and Haunting 1 April 2003
By Neal C. Reynolds
Format:Audio CD
This is indeed ethereal music, but not quite in the sense that Enya for instance is ethereal. There is more of a eerie and haunted sound here, but there's exquisite beauty within that sound.

These are all good tracks, but most notable are "Suzanne", "On The Low", "Feeling Of Gaze", "Charlotte, "Clear Day", and "Around My Smile". There is a melancholy mood here, but not depressive as Natalie Merchant's MOTHERLAND might seem to many. This is meditative, relaxing music, and yet there is depth to it.

Highy recommended.

5.0 out of 5 stars Album of the year! 7 Nov 2001
By elmz@cpb.nl
Format:Audio CD
We had to wait for quite some time for this album, but it definitely was worth the wait !
Hope Sandoval proves that there is life after Mazzy Star. Because of Hope's amazing voice, this album sounds like Mazzy Star. There are differences as well. The songs are more laid-back than the songs on Mazzy Star albums. Hope gives us a cd which makes day-dreaming easier than ever. Great songs, great atmosphere ! One of the better albums of the year !!
