Sparklehorse

Sparklehorse was an American musical project led by singer and multi-instrumentalist Mark Linkous. Emerging in the mid-1990s, it blended indie rock, folk, and experimental sounds.

The project’s run was cut short by Linkous’s death in 2010. In 2023, recordings he had left behind were compiled into the posthumous album Bird Machine, completed by his brother Matt Linkous and his sister-in-law Melissa.
