Dreamt for Light Years in the Belly of a Mountain

Sparklehorse are set to release their first album in five years, 'Dreamt for Lightyears in the Belly of a Mountain'. The album follows the band's much applauded last album 2001's 'It's a Wonderful Life'. As anyone who knows the joys of Sparklehorse, there's mystery and magic here once again. We are given glimpses of sleeping old bears, hammering hooves, Ophelia in the creek and Christmas bulbs glowing in the night. Mark Linkous remains a man shrouded in enigma and the last five years have bought with it much adventure as well as turmoil.
