New Sparklehorse Album On The Way!
Mark Linkous and his band Sparklehorse will release their first album in five years on September 25. The album is titled Dreamt For Light Years In The Belly Of A Mountain [sic], and features such artists as Dangermouse, Stephen Drodz of The Flaming Lips, and Tom Waits.
Overall the album sounds very similar to his 2001 release It's A Wonderful Life, only a bit more upbeat, even sounding (believe it or not) happy at times. Even Waits' contribution to this album sounds great, unlike his garbled contribution to It's A Wonderful Life - "Dog Door" - which was the album's only real achilles heel.
Take a listen to "Don't Take My Sunshine Away," the album's opening track that has almost the exact same melody as The Beatles' "Dear Prudence."
