Hope Sandoval Tours
Ethereal chanteuse Hope Sandoval and her Warm Inventions band are embarking on a two-month international tour. The trek launches in Sandoval’s home state of California, August 7 and moves East to wrap in Washington, D.C. at the end of the month. European shows begin August 31 in Norway and continue through September 13.
Blues duo The Soledad Brothers will support Sandoval and The Warm Inventions on all U.S. shows.
After her earlier band, Mazzy Star, broke up in the late ‘90s, Sandoval wasted no time exploring the solo route. She recruited former My Bloody Valentine member Colm O’Ciosoig and together they formed The Warm Inventions.
Much like Mazzy Star, the band features Sandoval’s sensuous and dreamy vocals. However, the group sets themselves apart by opting for simple musical arrangements in place of Mazzy Star’s layered sounds.
Sandoval and The Warm Inventions released their debut album, Bavarian Fruit Bread, last October.
