News Coachella Coachella Artist: Sparklehorse | Coachella Artist: Sparklehorse | | Print | |

 It is amazing that Mark Linkous, the primary member of Sparklehorse, is still alive. After his first album was released in 1996, Linkouse overdosed on alcohol and various other drugs while on tour. He passed out with his weight on top of his legs for fourteen hours creating a potassium buildup that caused his heart to stop upon being lifted from his position. Linkous surprisingly recovered from this incident without losing his legs and proceeded on to record three more albums, the most recent of which is the beautifully surreal Dreamt for Light Years in the Belly of a Mountain. Linkous plays just about if not all the instruments on his albums, but often times collaborates with guest artists like PJ Harvery, Danger Mouse, Tom Waits and others. He recorded the Pink Floyd song "Wish You Were Here" with Thom Yorke on vocals for the movie Lords of Dogtown in 2005. There is also a tribute album The Songs of Sparklehorse that can be purchased here (http://slightrecord.org/).
