This is a paragraph of text that could go in the sidebar.

Somewhere, deep in the heart of North Carolina, Mark Linkous lives in a house that, AU imagines, looks as if it fell straight out of a 1970s Horror Movie. However, instead of being filled with bear traps and chainsaws and perhaps a few disembodied teenagers, it is stacked to the rafters with guitar pedals, mellotrons, pump organs and half-built drum kits. This is the home of Sparklehorse, the music project on which Mark Linkous has been working for over a decade.
Drawing influences from more underground artists such as Daniel Johnston and Smog, Sparklehorse take Alt. Country tropes and bend them into strikingly weird shapes.
