03. Kendra Smith – Stars Are In Your Eyes
The moon descends into the night…
„Under the Radar“ would make a good album title for Kendra Smith. She was a founding member and played bass in one of the best Velvet Undeground-inspired bands of the 80s, the Dream Syndicate. But left that situation to start Opal with Rain Parade co-founder David Roback. This was a good thing on some levels because she started singing and her voice was much needed in the boy-world of alternative music. Unfortunately things didn’t work out between her and Roback and she left the band abruptly mid-tour. He went on to form Mazzy Star with Hope Sandoval and Kendra released some solo work before disappearing from music for good.“
Dieses letzte musikalische Lebenzeichen passend mit „Five Ways Of Disappearing“ betitelt, ist mein zweitliebstes Album der 90er. Zu meinem liebsten kommen wir später auch noch.
