sparklehorse - dreamt for lightyears in the belly of a mountain (mp3)

well i think about three weeks is quite a sufficient recovery for the bff birthday hangover. i've spent the last few weeks getting things done, and have managed to get a serious handle on all my daily goings on as well as getting stuck into bigger projects, some of which involve this very spot of the internet you're sitting on right now. i've mp3'd a helluva lot of rare records, sorted out some coding issues, and have some lovely themed posts coming up soon, but will just lead in with this short piece regarding a long track from the latest sparklehorse album.

i haven't seen anyone mention anything about this, the title track from their newest lp, and is surely it's finest moment. i really don't know too much about sparklehorse myself, so i asked andy mcqueen, a work colleague and good friend, who offered me a perfect summary of the track;

"on an album of twisted psych-pop both beautiful and dark, the big surprise is it's gorgeous, gently tolling outro: an 8 minute, ambient bliss-out that soothes as it ebbs and slowly unfurls."

and if that doesn't make you want to listen, i don't know what will.
