Mazzy Star co-founder David Roback dies aged 61

David Roback, producer and Mazzy Star co-founder, has died aged 61. Roback co-founded the seminal West Coast band Mazzy Star alongside Hope Sandoval in 1989. The alt-rock group unveiled their debut album, 'She Hangs Brightly', in 1990, before going on to release three more records and two EPs. Mazzy Star’s best-known song, 'Fade Into You', was produced and co-written by Roback. A key figure in the Los Angeles Paisley Underground scene of neo-psychedelia in the 1980s, Roback also played in bands such as Rain Parade and Opal. LA Times wrote a lovely obituary for their fellow Californian.
