"Hope Sandoval is an American singer-songwriter who was lead singer for Mazzy Star and later Hope Sandoval & the Warm Inventions. Hope started to sing and perform with the band Opal in the late 1980s alongside David Roback, and originally playing second fiddle to long-time Roback collaborator Kendra Smith. At a gig in Hammersmith, UK, Smith stormed off stage after just a couple of songs, and the foundations of Mazzy Star were laid as Hope stepped up to take on the lead vocals. The two began writing together and renamed their alternative/dream pop band Mazzy Star.

After 1996, Hope began a career of working with other bands. She collaborated with a series of artists, including Air, Bert Jansch, Death in Vegas, Le Volume Courbe, Richard X, The Chemical Brothers, The Jesus and Mary Chain, The Twilight Singers, Vetiver, and Massive Attack. Hope formed The Warm Inventions and released their first (and thus far only) album called 'Bavarian Fruit Bread', in 2001. This album sounds, again, little different in terms of theme, voice, and instrumentation from that of her work with Mazzy Star.

In live performance, Hope prefers to play in near darkness with only a dim backlight."
