Sparklehorse

On February 17, 2007, Sparklehorse performed live at the Gothic Theatre in Denver, which was a significant moment during the promotion of their album "Dreamt for Light Years in the Belly of a Mountain." Released in September 2006, this album was notable for its introspective sound and collaboration with artists like Thom Yorke of Radiohead. By the time of the performance, Sparklehorse, led by Mark Linkous, was already recognized for their unique blend of indie rock and experimental sounds. The live performance of “Spirit Ditch” reflects the album's darker, melancholic themes, showcasing Linkous's distinctive vocal style and lyrical depth. This period marked a challenging time in Linkous's life, as he grappled with personal struggles and mental health issues, which influenced both his music and performances. The Gothic Theatre show exemplified Linkous's commitment to his craft, even amid those challenges.
