Transcription

Composition

It showcases the band's trademark effect with haunting guitar work and lyrics, and Hope Sandoval's detached vocals. David Roback's Robby Krieger-inspired psychedelic blues slide guitar style can be heard on the song "Free". "Ghost Highway" is another psychedelic rock track, with a fast rhythm. This song dates from the band's days as Opal and was initially slated to be the title track of Opal's second album. While not a commercial success, this album did establish Mazzy Star as a unique band with a unique sound.

"Blue Flower" is a Slapp Happy cover from the 1972 album Sort Of.

In a review for Rolling Stone, Gina Arnold praised She Hangs Brightly as being "coldly beautiful".[12] AllMusic's Jason Ankeny described Hope Sandoval's vocals as "more sultry" than those of Opal's Kendra Smith and praised "Halah" and "Blue Flower" but criticized the album's lack of focus, calling the remaining tunes "unmemorable".[5]

Kurt Cobain of Nirvana listed She Hangs Brightly in his top fifty albums of all time.[15][16] In 2018, Pitchfork ranked the album at number 29 on its list of the 30 best dream pop albums.[1]
