Early life
Sandoval was born in Los Angeles, California, to Mexican-American parents and raised in east Los Angeles. Her father was a butcher, while her mother worked for a potato chip manufacturing plant. She has one sibling and seven half-siblings. Sandoval's parents divorced when she was a child, and the majority of her mother's raised her.
She attended Mark Keppel High School in Alhambra, but she had trouble socially and academically, and was placed in special education classes. She began to forego her classes, instead staying home and listening to music. "It's just like everybody else"—many people, but most people don't want to go to school." Sandoval recalled, "They don't want to do it." "I was just someone who got away with it... There wasn't really anyone watching." She eventually dropped out of high school.
Sandoval started interested in music at an early age, and the Rolling Stones influenced him at age 13. Sylvia Gomez and she formed Going Home in 1986 and sent David Roback a demo tape. He phoned the pair and asked that he'll "play guitar for you guys." Gomez, Sandoval, and Roback's archived data has yet to be published.
Career
Sandoval appeared with the band Opal in the late 1980s, alongside David Roback and long-time Roback collaborator Kendra Smith. Sandoval took over lead vocals following Smith's abrupt departure during a tour of the United Kingdom (hurling her guitar to the ground at the Hammersmith gig). Roback and Sandoval began writing together and formed the alternative rock band Mazzy Star after the tour ended.
She Hangs Brightly, the first Mazzy Star album, was released in 1990. Although this album was not a commercial success, it did establish Mazzy Star as a band with a distinctive sound.
In October 1993, the band had a surprise hit single. "Fade to You"—the band's second album "So Tonight That I Might See" — was released a year before it became a hit.
The sound and moods on Mazzy Star's first two albums and the band's third, Among My Swan, are similar. In 1997, Mazzy Star went on hiatus.
Sandoval founded The Warm Inventions in 2000 and released her first solo album Bavarian Fruit Bread in 2001, which she performed with My Bloody Valentine drummer Colm Cosóig. The album differed in terms of theme, voice, and instrumentation from her Mazzy Star days. Bert Jansch plays guitar on two tracks, and the album features two covers, "Butterfly Mornings" from the film "The Ballad of Cable Hogue (1970) and Jesus and Mary Chain's "Drop." Two EPs, At the Doorway Again in 2000 and Suzanne in 2002, were released, but neither gained commercial recognition, with one video on MTV and no radio play. Sandoval released "Wild Roses" as a part of a compilation CD that was released by Air France in the Air (2008).
On September 29, 2009, Hope Sandoval and The Warm Inventions released Through the Devil Softly, their second album.
Matt Groening selected Sandoval and her band to appear at the All Tomorrow's Parties festival, which he curated in May 2010 in Minehead, England. The group also appeared at the ATP New York 2010 music festival in Monticello, New York, in September 2010, at the behest of film producer Jim Jarmusch.
Sandoval said in a Rolling Stone interview in 2009 that Mazzy Star is still online: "It's true we're still together." We're almost done [with the record]. But I have no idea what that means. The group's first material in 15 years, "Common Burn"/"Lay Myself Down" in October 2011. The company said that they had intended to unleash the album in 2012. The first single from the new album, "California," was released in July 2013. Seasons of Your Day, a compilation of songs from September 2013, was released in September 2013.
David Roback died in Los Angeles on February 24, 2020, from metastatic cancer.
Hope Sandoval & The Warm Inventions would debut "Isn't True" on March 9, 2016, the 16th anniversary of the company's founding, according to a 7" vinyl single titled "Isn't It True" on Record Store Day 2016. The track also features Jim Putnam of Radar Bros. On April 19, the album was released, and it honors Richie Lee of Acetone. Until the Hunter, the Warm Inventions' third studio album, was released on November 4 by the band's own independent record label Tendril Tales. On September 23, Kurt Vile's second single from the album "Let Me Get There" was released.
Sandoval performed vocals on "I Don't Mind" by Psychic Ills, which was released on March 29, 2016. Massive Attack's third tour with the band, "The Spoils," four months later, followed "Paradise Circus" and "Four Walls." On August 9, Cate Blanchett, a music video actress, was announced.
On Mercury Rev's 2019 album "Big Boss Man" Bobbie Gentry's The Delta Sweethe Revisited, she wrote about "Big Boss Man."
