恋の予感

Death Drive

Bird Machine

Everybody's Gone to Sleep

This is the story of one Cambridge boy
Who, despite all his privileges
Felt betrayed by the world

He saw destruction in every corner of his life
He lost all he thought he could ever love
So he fell to his knees and asked God
"Why must you punish me?
I'm far too handsome to not be in magazines"
But God said nothing to me

So I resigned to my room
And scrolled, weeping, to the bottom of my Instagram
I clicked furiously through every one of my tagged photos
And learned nothing about myself
I asked every girl I'd ever slept with to rate my performance
And the results were horrifying
I watched Mad Max: Fury Road with my mother
To learn what masculinity means
I read the top 12 pieces of relationship advice
From How I Met Your Mother on BuzzFeed
I threw out my 2-in-1 and bought separate shampoo and conditioner
I listened to Jerskin Fendrix every day for a month
I googled myself so many times, I started trending
I read back my love letters to Southeastern French villages
And knew that I was really just writing about you

I was so busy trying to understand who I was
That I forgot my dog's birthday
I'm sorry, Dylan
I woke up every day and had to re-remember
All that had been taken from me
Like the whole of Groundhog Day
Combined with just the second half of 50 First Dates

And in one moment, I never felt more like I wanted to die in my life
And in the next moment, I never felt more like I needed to try in my life
To be who I knew I could be
To be an outrageous rock 'n' roll icon
To be a masterful lover
To be the best dressed guy in this Shoreditch venue
To be on the cover of So Young Magazine in collage form
To be a well-regarded DJ of rare techno on vinyl only
To be the hero of my own childhood dreams

So I put on fresh socks and a Kanye West album
And went to find my next calling
To turn the page in the book of my life
I bought a coffee table book about minimalism and a new sweater
I cut my own hair badly and started using Face Scrub
I unfollowed every girl who posted pictures of healthy meals
And every girl who posted pictures of happy meals
I'm sorry, Henry
I gave myself a hilarious name on Facebook
I pretended to not know who Lil Yachty was
I told everyone I met that I'd never seen Black Mirror
I threw out my bed frame and put my mattress on the floor
I destroyed my AeroPress and started drinking instant coffee
I acted like I knew nothing about craft beer
I bitched about every group in South London
I am sorry, Sorry

And as I started to define myself purely by the things I hated
I knew I'd become the antithesis of my 2016 manifesto
I was so lost in my plight to exist
That I forgot to live and I forgot to love
So learn from me, children
Be better than I am
Vanity plagues me, but it's not too late for you
I love you, good night

We are honored to present ‘Bird Machine’, the fifth Sparklehorse album. Before his death in 2010, Mark Linkous, one of indie rock’s most distinctive and influential songwriters, had recorded tracks with Steve Albini at Electrical Audio, and in his own studio, Static King. The careful and important work of archiving these recordings and bringing them to light was guided by his brother, Matt, who describes these songs as “honest and pure; and without pretense.” The finished results are instantly and unmistakably recognizable as Sparklehorse, with all the tenderness and sense of wonder that Mark shared so beautifully.

New album 'Bird Machine’ out now on ANTI- Records. https://sparklehorse.ffm.to/birdmachine
