This Is What Happened To 90s Rock Band Mazzy Star

Apparently, Mazzy Star never stopped writing music during their public hiatus, as Robleck told Rolling Stone. They very simply continued to compose on their own, for themselves. Over time they amassed a bunch of unreleased material, which accounted for their aforementioned 2013 reunion tour. 

Sandoval, in the Refinery 29 interview, describes a highly sensitive, artistic process of crafting stories and music, saying, "We like to take our time experimenting with different ideas and creating new sounds until we feel satisfied that we've accomplished something mind-expanding," and, "I like to hang out in restaurants and cafés, eavesdrop on people's conversations and collect new stories. Then I go home and spend the evenings embellishing them." For Robleck's part, as reported by the BBC, he moved to Norway and got involved with local musicians making experimental music, as well as producing songs for singer/songwriter Beth Orton. Neither of them ever intended to write anything that exploded in popularity, like "Fade into You," as News.com.au states, and the band has more or less retained the authenticity of its indie, California roots. 

Mazzy Star may have come to an actual end, however, as co-founder Robleck passed away in February 2020. Sandoval, devastated by the loss, posted a poem about her former partner: "What will we do now? Now that you leave me here. Even though the dark blue sky is still radiant and filled with the comforting sadness that holds us together."
