Sparklehorse's collaboration with Fennesz makes for a particularly dreamy and ambient installment of the In the Fishtank series. Sparklehorse's usually reclusive core member, Mark Linkous, has been relatively busy in 2009. He played a lead role in the year's magnum collaborative opus Dark Night of the Soul, an album of genius which found him working with producer Danger Mouse to provide the sonic groundwork...

Bellflur Genre: Indie / Experimental / Japanese Classic Music From: Washington, Washington DC, United States Scores of DC-based bands touted as “the next big thing” have rapidly sprung up and dissipated just as quickly, but since forming 8 years ago in 2001, Bellflur has been one of the few constants on the DC scene. Bellflur challenges genre-specificity, but it does thrive in the lush...

I was just listening to the new "In The Fishtank" album by Sparklehorse + Fennesz, and wondered if there are any other fans of ambient music amongst the Massive? Or do people's perceptions of this misunderstood genre begin and end with Eno? For those un-initiated, ambient music consists of elegiac noodlings that musically don't go anywhere or have any sort of "tune" per se, but...

The eccentric stop-motion geniuses (and identical twins) the Quay Brothers, aka Stephen and Timothy Quay and/or the Brothers Quay, create mesmerizing and wonderfully creepy stop-motion films since their first films in the '70s. With a wild assortment of esoteric influences from Polish animators, Kafka and Bruno Schulz (whose book The Street of Crocodiles inspired their short film by the same name...

Well to tell the truth, these folk have been putting out great music for the last decade or so (in Lloyd’s case the last three and a bit). But not one of these artists is trading on nostalgia and for me that is one of the things that is crucial to longevity. So here’s my soundtrack [...]

Underground icon Daniel Johnston has spent a lot of time slightly above ground. From Kurt Cobain wearing his T-shirt to 2005’s documentary The Devil And Daniel Johnston , many high-profile entertainers have supported the troubled Texan.

The songs of Sparklehorse have been described as "defiantly surrealist ... with all manner of references to smiling babies, organ music, birds, and celestial bodies ... In fact, some of the lyrics are so surreal that it's hard to imagine...

This song may be one of the less danceable songs I post. But it's some solid rock from Sparklehorse who have released this in 2006 off of their album Dreamt for Light Years in the Belly of a Mountain which is surprisingly not even close to the longest album name I've heard. This past year members of Sparklehorse worked with Dangermouse to release Dark Night of the Soul which technically never recieved...
