Reviews
"...Linkous swathes his crepuscular dirges in a wet blanket of gloom, then leaves in all the lo-fi messiness most artists airbrush out. Sound ugly as sin? It's actually heartbreakingly beautiful; Linkous' songs are so fragile and tender, you'll want to coddle them." - Rating: A, "...a schizophrenic lurch between the earthly and the ethereal....Not exactly lo-fi, alt-country or punk, but some netherworld in-between, Sparklehorse...use vintage recording equipment and analog sounds to capture a very present palette of emotions and world views...", "Linkous constantly approached the purity of pop music and then lacerated it with the quirks and imperfections he cherished.", "...a homemade tour de force of psychedelic Appalachian folk slop, held together by writer-producer Linkous' ruggedly melancholic whisper of a voice....only a bored small-town space cadet could have dreamed up all the ornately beautiful dreams on GOOD MORNING SPIDER."
