Sparklehorseare a rock musicgroup led by singer and multi-instrumentalist Mark Linkous. Essentially, Linkous isSparklehorse (in much the same way that Bill Callahan is Smog). Linkous records much of Sparklehorse's material in his home studio, and his vision (primarily "one of haunted beauty", wrote Kevin Caulfield [1]) guides Sparklehorse. Drummer and multi-instrumentalist Scott Minoris a frequent collaborator. Much of Sparklehorse's music has an introspective, melancholy feel, which Linkous credits to a chemical imbalance.

A horse, a horse
My kingdom for a horse
Rattling on magnetic fields
Yes I did use up
The last box of sparklers
Before they went bad
Got wet or decayed
Homecoming queen, homecoming queen
Teeth what were sharp
Is ground down and dumb
My crooked spine becoming more brittle
What once grew straight
And tall tward the sun
Is absorbing back down
To dirt like a sponge
Homecoming queen, homecoming queen
Homecoming queen, homecoming queen
