I have been waiting for this for a very long time...
Kev Kharas for Drowned in Sound has recently reported that the pseudonymous Mark Linkous, better known as Sparklehorse, will be releasing Dreamt For Light Years in the Belly of a Mountain, on September 25th, 2006.
It has been five years since the release of Sparklehorse's third somber opus, It's A Wonderful Life, an album I consider one of my most personal of favorites; a record I've pushed upon every genuine music lover I know. It's hard for me to express just how much this record has meant to me since being introduced to Sparklehorse some four long years ago. How time passes.
On Dreamt For Light Years in the Belly of a Mountain, Linkous will be accompanied by a number of conspirators, including; Tom Waits, Danger Mouse, Christian Fennesz, and Stephen Drodz (of The Flaming Lips). Waits was previously featured on It's A Wonderful Life's cellar-stompin' trip-hop excursion through the "Dog Door". What this cast of creative luminaries will bring to Dreamt For Light Years...I can only imagine.
The full tracklisting for Dreamt For Light Years...is as follows:
'Don't Take My Sunshine Away''Getting it Wrong'
'Shade and Honey'
'See the Light'
'Return to Me'
'Some Sweet Day'
'Ghost in the Sky'
'Mountains'
'Morning Hollow'
'Knives of Summertime'
'It's Not So Hard'
'Dreamt For Light Years in the Belly of a Mountain (aka Maxine)'
Dreamt For Light Years in the Belly of a Moutain is my most anticipated release of this year, and I couldn't recommend a better time to get better acquainted with the quiet magic of Sparklehorse.

Nope. "It's A Wonderful Life" came out in 2001. Linkous tends to take long breaks between albums, and from what I understand he's been offering his services to other musicians for the past fews years. I know he's been playing with Christian Fennescz and he produced the 2003 Daniel Johnston record, "Fear Yourself".
Yeah that picture is great. If my memory serves correct I think it came from the "Good Morning Spider" era. I remember in the video for "Pig" the band was dressed in suits and masks.
I thought that picture was of you!Same glasses and I know you have a thing for cats...
I haven't heard anything from SH since probably 1998. Where the hell have I been?
Added a link to my site, "word of the day."

I'll get you caught up to speed when I get home. Only 25 more days now!
