focal point : Opal



Opal were a dreamy, hypnotic psychedelic rock band from California who formed in the mid-1980s, featuring guitarist David Roback & vocalist, Kendra Smith.

After a handful of singles, Happy Nightmare Baby, Opal's first full-length album was released in 1987. Kendra Smith left the group during the Happy Nightmare tour.

Roback continued with vocalist Hope Sandoval, playing shows as Opal, but in 1989 the band became Mazzy Star.

Kendra Smith released a number of solo singles, EPs, and one album 
before retiring to the woods of northern California.
