ANTI- Records is honored to share a never-before-heard album by Mark Linkous of Sparklehorse titled Bird Machine, originally recorded in 2010. Sparklehorse was an American indie rock band formed in the mid-1990s.  Described as an artist who "compelled listeners to heed the beauty of darkness", Sparklehorse released many influential records in the '90s and in the early aughts. Mark did much of his work in his home studio, Static King, often playing and recording everything on his own. Despite his untimely death, his music continues to be highly regarded and influential in the indie rock and alternative music scenes. We will be previewing the entire record a few days before its release here at Vinyl Tap!
