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.

Sparklehorse

Is your jewellery still lost in the sand
Out on the coast, or rushed into the brine?
You left your rings on the shoreline
So you wouldnt lose them swimming in the shallows
A plastic shovel, soft sweaty children far from home
On vacation not unlike your very own
And the captain howdy lit upon my shoulder
And he left me with sulphur and rooms full of headaches
I fell in with snakes in the poisoned ranks of strangers
Please send me more yellow birds for the dim interior
Will my pony recognise my voice in hell?
Will he still be blind, or do they go by smell?
Will you promise not to rest me out at sea
But on a fiery river boat thats rickety?
Ill never find my pony along the rolling swell
A muddy river or a lake would do me well
With hints of amber sundowns and moody thunderstorms
A sunken barges horns, with the cold rusty bells
