The path that leads the wonderful Sparklehorse from North Carolina to The Cube is a happy tale of our shrunken new world. Scouring the internet for sonic accessories for he and production cohort/jip hop maverick Danger Mouse to play with, Mark Linkous comes upon our very own DIY machine-maker Tom Bugs. 'Sell me a box', says Linkous. 'Come and play The Cube', says Bugs. 'OK', says Linkous. 'Alright!', says Bugs. And that's that. Another monster Qu Junktions coup for the Microplex massive. The signature Sparklehorse sound – waves of woebegotten country-rock beauty, abstract poetics and otherworldy textures as heard on the golden likes of 'Good Morning Spider', 'It's a Wonderful Life' and last year's 'Dreamt For Light Years In The Belly Of A Mountain' – is, quite simply, to our tiny auditorium born. Saddle up.
