Mazzy Star performed "Flowers in December" during the "2 Meter Sessies" live recording on November 6, 1996, shortly after the release of their third studio album, "Among My Swan." This album, which debuted on October 1, 1996, marked a significant period for the band, showcasing their signature blend of dream pop and alternative rock that solidified their cult following. The track "Flowers in December" embodies the haunting, ethereal sound that the band is known for and exemplifies lead vocalist Hope Sandoval's distinct and evocative vocal style. Notably, "Among My Swan" received critical acclaim but did not achieve the commercial success of their earlier work, such as the hit "Fade Into You." This performance, captured in a stripped-down, intimate setting, reflects the melancholic themes present in their music at that time, and it highlights Mazzy Star's ability to connect with audiences through their poignant and atmospheric sound.
