Description

Discover Sparklehorse's ultimate album! Sparklehorse was an American indie rock band formed by singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Mark Linkous in the mid-1990s. Described as an artist who "forces listeners to contend with the beauty in darkness" by Pitchfork, Sparklehorse released many influential records, including the celebrated albums "Vivadixiesubmarinetransmissionplot" and "Good Morning Spider" in the 90s, "It's A Wonderful Life" and "Dreamt for Light Years in the Belly of a Mountain" in the early 2000s, as well as a series of more recent albums, the first of which is a chamber music album. Throughout his career, Mark collaborated with provocative artists such as Vic Chesnutt, Daniel Johnston, Tom Waits, Danger Mouse, and David Lynch. While Mark recorded in various studios, collaborating with other musicians and producers, he did most of his work in his home studio, often playing and recording everything himself. He was "a working-class guy with a very poetic sensibility, who was drawn to artists like himself, who worked in isolation," said Ken Tucker of NPR Fresh Air.
