Sparklehorse

On February 20, 2007, Sparklehorse performed a live set at MPR The Current, showcasing their distinctive blend of lo-fi rock and dreamy soundscapes. At this point in their career, they had recently released the album "Dreamt for Light Years in the Belly of a Mountain" in 2006, which was notable for its experimental sound and featured collaborations with artists like Tom Waits and David Lynch. This performance not only highlighted tracks from that album, including "Return to Me" and "Spirit Ditch," but also served as a critical moment in Sparklehorse's trajectory, emphasizing their unique artistic vision amidst a tumultuous personal life, including frontman Mark Linkous's ongoing struggles with mental health. This live recording is part of a broader narrative surrounding the band’s impact on alternative music in the early 2000s, making it a significant snapshot of their artistic journey during that period.
