Hope discussed the status of Mazzy Star with Rolling Stone (US) July 6, 2009:

Mazzy Star status: Sandoval confirms her and her bandmate David Roback haven't called it quits and they are still working on their anticipated fourth album. But she declines to give many specifics. "It's true we're still together," she says. "We're almost finished [with the record]. But I have no idea what that means."
