Sparklehorse

Gold Day EP

Label: Capitol Records Release Date: 02/07/2001

athomas by Andy (quirk) Thomas June 29th, 2001

Like the last light of a summers evening this goes down with a quiet contentment. A tune laid back enough to be soothing but simultaneously purposeful enough to hold your attention. The vocals coo over the strings and organ backing, the closest reference point being somewhat unbelievably "Strawberry Fields" era Beatles.
